Documentary about "The Goodtimes"
June 26, 2013

(left to right) Dave Kennedy of The Goodtimes, Frank Pietrzak owner of the Trade Winds Nightclub
and Johnny Babb of The Goodtimes.

In 1989 Michael Raab did a 25-minute documentary on The Goodtimes, a longtime favorite Hudson Valley band, detailing their rise, fall and disintegration over a 25-year period. The video features individual interviews with each band member, as well as rare photos of The Goodtimes in various stages. The documentary has only been seen once and that was a private viewing by The Goodtimes. Is there interest in making this documentary available for public viewing by fans and musicians who knew them? If so please email me directly, or comment below.
