Mayor of MacDougal Street [2013 Edition]

If you have any interest in the folk singing scene in Greenwich Village during the mid-fifties through the early '60s, and if you don't you should, Dave Van Ronk's semi-memoir semi-music tutorial, is a must read. The cast of characters ranges from Bobby Dylan who slept on Van Ronk's couch numerous times and swiped an arrangement from Van Ronk for his first album, to Tom Paxton to Joan Baez to Patrick Skye to Mississippi John Hurt to name only a few.
