![]() My mother and father lead the way, holding my little sisters in their arms. You can’t be in heaven and on earth at the same time. But Lucille was supporting us, and I had to go back to work. I could have just stayed up there forever. Playing against the sky really does improve your volume, and your wind capacity. I would walk north from Grand Street, two blocks up to Delancey Street, and then from Delancey Street down to the entrance of the bridge. I went to the bridge to practice just about every day for two years. One day I was on Delancey Street, and I walked up the steps to the Williamsburg Bridge and came to this big expanse. My neighbor on Grand Street was the drummer Frankie Dunlop, and his wife was pregnant. The problem was that I had no place to practice. We were welcomed on the Lower East Side, as an interracial couple. We bought our chickens at a kosher butcher next door. On her way home from work, she used to visit a man named Izzy and his wife, who ran a pickle store on Suffolk near Grand. I used to go to Ratner’s to pick up pastries for my wife, Lucille. In the late 1950s, I moved into a loft on Grand Street between Clinton and Suffolk. Why didn’t we take the bus? I just, literally within the past two weeks, realized that I could have done that. We’d be wheeling our stuff back and fall asleep on a stoop for a while. Arthur took his mom’s laundry basket on wheels, this metal shopping-cart thing, and that’s what we put our guitars in. It was such a long haul walking back at the end of the night, for me and Arthur and Scilken, especially after we played the clubs around there, like A7. I would do that walk twice a day - cutting school in the morning, and at night we’d do the same walk again. When they closed, they would throw away all the leftover croissants, and Scilken would eat 10 of them, and that was his dinner. He just loved saying the word “croissant.” It was supposed to be this new, cool French thing that people had just discovered in America. Scilken was obsessed with this place called La Croissanterie (which I think replaced Orange Julius, the best restaurant of all time). Me and Arthur and Dave Scilken and our friend Abby Stoddard, we had a band, the Young and the Useless. Marks Place, and then up to Ninth Street and Second Avenue, to a record store called the Rat Cage. We would go down to Eighth Street and across to St. There was a guy that me and my brother Matthew were obsessed with when we were little kids, ’cause he’d just stand on the corner and say, ‘‘Call ’em out today! I got pretty flowas!’’ When we saw him standing there, we’d start walking past real slow, waiting for him to say it, and then he would: “Call ’em out today! I got pretty flowas!” And my brother and I would look at each other like, Yes. ![]() The plant shop there, next to Crazy Eddie, was there forever. The other two dependecies are installed by typing:Īfter that, you should be able to run Lilypond on your Raspberry.We lived on Washington Street in the West Village Houses, which my mom called ‘‘a little bit of Queens in Manhattan.’’ I would walk and get my best friend, Arthur Africano, at 10th Street and Sixth Avenue. To be able to install it, you have to modify the sources.list of apt-get. The most recent version of Raspbian is based on Debian Stretch and Guile 1.8 is not part of Stretch. To run Lilypond I needed to install three more dependencies on my Raspberry: guile 1.8, Libpangoft and ghostscript. Just copy it to a folder on your Raspberry Pi (or other arm-based machine) and install it with So I guess it can be installed on other arm-based systems as well. With the aid of a program called “ CheckInstall” I managed to create an installable deb-file and succesfully installed it on one of my Raspberry Pies. ![]() I compiled Lilypond from source on my arm-based tablet. As I have no idea how to create an installer script, so I just created an archive of the software folder. I build a version for Linux 64 bit machines seperately from the latest development source. See for the official stable and unstable releases Lilypond’s website. Update: new builds made on 29th November 2021Īfter two years I finally have again a working cross compiling platform, and I succeeded in building Lilypond for Windows and Linux for the x86-platform (32 bit).
