| Zoe is still over at her mom's helping her recover from her inner ear malfunction. Zoe is fading and needs backup so I will be going over there this afternoon and may not be back for a day or two. Her mom is getting better but not as better as she thinks she is.
We had another TestingTesting in my living room last night. The archive of Martha Furey's show is up.
Dave Van Ronk died Sunday.
Dave Van Ronk, 65, Folk Singer and Early Mentor to Bob Dylan, Dies (New York Times obituary.)
Zoe does Christine Lavin's website. I've been making changes for Christine since Zoe can't while at her mom's. The New Times will be doing a piece on Dave Van Ronk Tuesday or Wednesday that Christine helped with. I will link to it when I can.
Christine is also taping today, at WFUV, for a show about Dave on Sunday. Christine said "It will be on WFUV from 8-11 AM, though probably on Saturday (I think at 5) Pete Fornatale will be doing lots of Ronk tracks, too. And probably Vin Scelsa after that." (WFUV streams their shows over the Internet so that those outside their broadcast area can still listen in.)
Dave was Christine's guitar teacher and mentor.
More later. To quote a great late 20th century American philosopher: "Wacka, wacka." (Fozzy Bear.) |
