Tin Pan Alley, Music Row...is any piece of New York City's musical heritage safe? No, says Lost City, who reports on the imminent shuttering of the 89-year-old Joseph Patelson Music House near Carnegie Hall. Some history via LC: "It's still a family business. It began as the Half-Price Music Shop on Cooper Square, run by one Ernest Cook. Cook hired a student named Joseph Patelson, and left the business to him when he died in 1939." [Lost City]
