#folkieFriday Dave Van Ronk was a part the folk scene revival that was emerging in Greenwich Village in the late 1950s.His book is a wonderful look at living cheap to pursue your art.Something that seems nearly impossible today.The Coen Brothers movie , Inside Llewyn Davis ,was loosely based on this book.
Always the activist , he was 1 of 13 arrested during the Stonewall Riots, he was dining nearby, joined in when he saw what was going on.👍✊
I‘m calling it #folkiefriday Have some? .I try to see Dar Williams every time she tours .Lee Hays was a member of The Weavers .Inside Llewelyn Davis, the Cohen Brothers film ,was loosely based on the life ofDave Van Ronk.I treasure my beat up copy of American Songs and Folk Songs.And my beat up early Dylan songbook.
#Day10 #agameoffavorites #authorfromanothercountry this is a book I'm super looking forward to-my dad went to the US for a family wedding at DC and went to NY as well.His airbnb was on Macdougal Street and he bought me this book from a small independent bookstore #bookbook there-actually bought where Van Ronk might have visited!!He didn't read much though!
