Regarding your excellent article on the Lovelady Powell property in North Haven [“Effort Underway To Save House on Lovelady Powell Property in North Haven,” 27east.com, January 11], here’s a suggestion: The Community Preservation Fund should tear down the house if it’s dangerous and dilapidated — but it should erect a plaque listing the artists who lived or visited there and the iconic songs that were written there, including “Summer in the City,” “Do You Believe in Magic?” “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes,” and Crosby, Stills and Nash’s first album. Include a QR code that visitors could scan and listen to those songs in their original setting.
It may require some licensing payments, but it would honor and preserve the artistic “magic” that was produced there.
