Al gave drum lessons on the second floor above City Music at 67 Springfield Ave., Newark, NJ. Not sure if he started using that space circa 1948 or after he came back from military service in Teaxs in the 4th Army band around 1953-4. The full street image was taken May 30, 1960 from the Samuel Berg Photo Archive. (Some of the renderings were photo enhanced by Gemini AI)
