St. Cecilia Teen Center

The St. Cecilia teen center of the mid 1970's is the primary inspiration for this web site. It was a wonderful place in a wonderful time.

It was there that a group of teens gathered to learn to play guitars and other instruments and to make music together. It didn't matter if it sounded good, that wasn't the point.
Friendships were made, groups were formed and musical skills were developed that would last a lifetime.

Fred Rubino's Newtown Creek Music site describes the pre-center scene. Fred, Le Ann and Greg Lemko ran the center.
