“The first thing that comes to mind is the courtyards on Gorky Street, later renamed Tverskaya. This would be the courtyard near the building of the Union of Composers. It was possible to get there only through the entrance. At that time our company included Petya Mamonov, Sveta Vickers, Seryozha “Trofa” Trofimenko, Misha “Michel” Krasnov, Gosha Aikazuni, Volodya Tartakovsky and many others. And so we all spent a lot of time in this courtyard, ”said the musician.
He also remembered that he spent a lot of time in an ice cream parlor opposite the Eliseevsky store. According to Namin, sometimes he and his friends “hooligan too well” and ended up in the police. “They were always taken to department # 102. It was then behind today’s McDonald’s, ”Namin shared his memories.
Also, according to the musician, rock and roll musicians of Soviet Moscow often gathered in the courtyards of the House, the drummer and the House on the embankment.
“In 1968 I lived there, in the first entrance. Right there, in the basement, in the red corner, the beginning group “Flowers” was rehearsing. A little later, the recently assembled and little-known “Time Machine” began to rehearse at the entrance opposite, ”Namin said.
Another place where he felt at home, according to the artist, was DK Energetikov. “Many groups have already rehearsed and performed there -“ Falcon ”,“ Music lovers ”,“ Winds of Change ”. Then I got married there and “Time Machine”. The next was “Arsenal” of saxophonist Alexey Kozlov, ”he said.
Earlier, the leader of the “Accident” group Alexei Kortnev told Moslente what the world of Russian advertising was like in the early 90s of the last century and how he himself worked at that time for world advertising agencies.
