Talk:Buzz Potamkin

"My Life To Hustle"
FWIW, I recall seeing a short film he did when I was an undergraduate at Columbia, and we briefly shared an apartment in the spring of 1965. The film was called My Life To Hustle, which I presume (now, not then) was a play on the English title of My Life to Live. Shot at night, it showed a series of muggings with a score lifted from the album Free Jazz by Ornette Coleman. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 21:48, 27 July 2023 (UTC)


 * That's really cool! Do you have any further info about the film or Potamkin in general? Anything we could find a reliable source for? —  Paper Luigi  T • C 18:04, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately no. I was brought into the apartment by Peter Szego, whom I already knew a bit from weekly youth discussion meetings in the Maplewood NJ building of the Ethical Culture Society where I was likely the youngest attendee; several of us were musicians, including Szego and me. Szego, Potamkin and I all were students at Columbia, where Szego invited me to move into their W. 122nd Street apartment during my freshman year. We three were its only residents.
 * I was never close with Potamkin, but you might be able to find out more by contacting Szego. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 18:49, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
