About the authors

Eppy and Steve

35 years after Eppy empowered Steve as his "house photographer," they've partnered to assemble some of the finest words, pictures and sounds of a time when records, radio, concerts and unforgettable talent converged with ardent fans at a little club called My Father's Place.

Steve Rosenfield was the in-house photographer at My Father's Place in the mid- late 70's. Sensing some limitations, he became a suit but keeps his rock 'n roll heart.

Michael "Eppy" Epstein was the owner/operator of legendary My Father's Place from 1971-1987. He's an international talent manager and independent promoter.
