More than Waylon Jennings, I am mourning the recent passing of Dave Van Ronk. One of the real icons of the early folk scene. Talking of unique voices. There was no one who sounded like Van Ronk, hearing that Brooklyn accent come through some of his blues ballads. He was considered the mentor to Bob Dylan when he arrived in NY and introduced finger picking and the blues to many aspiring guitar player. If my memory is still intact he also was one of the first to record Joni Mitchell. Although he wasn't a topical folk singer like Dylan, Phil Ochs, Pete Seeger or Tom Paxton, he did support many important social causes.
The loss of Dave Van Ronk truly saddens me Gary J.
