content: One of the most important activities in the singer/songwriter's scene from the mid 1970's and continuing on to the present has been the Songwriter's Exchange. It began as a weekly meeting of localwriters in cluding Maggie Roche, Tom Intondi, Jack Hardy and others. The concept then as now is to come in with a new song each week orat least a portion or a major revision. The songwriter's Exchange was never intended to be a showcase, but rather a friendly, competitive, meetings of songwriters.The Songwriter's Exchange moved some time in 1978 to the frong room of the Cornelia Street Cafe. The first person to arrive (at 8pm) would take the names of the first dozen or so songwriters who had a song to play and call for them to play. The meetings were not directed by anyone in particular. There may have been a very few participants some weeks or the room might be bursting with writers and listeners.
