The
Washington Squares had a penchant for the press, but that was partly because
Tom Goodkind knew how to schmooze writers and editors on the phone and he’d

wearing along with what we’re playing in the descriptions of who we are and
what bands we were from in the New Wave scene. He really knew how to promote. .
. as that was his job at the Peppermint Lounge, too: as a music promoter.
