Well, I'm gonna keep pushing you and ask you what you mean by "from
scratch?"  The Sugarhill Gang is still around the Bronx and they perform
in downtown clubs from time to time, whenever white people get nostalgic
about their teenage dance parties.

They played at B. B. King's on Times Square recently, I believe, but
have been doing this for at least 10 years.  Their set consists of
"Rapper's Delight," "8th Wonder," a short break and then, um, "Rapper's
Delight" again.

Don't know what they do to pay the bills in between, but they're living,
breathing members of the New York community and didn't need a forensic
team to track them down for a record date with a software nerd.

But props to Michael Wright, who did his bit to shoot some royalty money
their way.  Wonder if he got $25 for the session?

Best,

Charles
