  • In 1992-93 I spotted an ad in the Village Voice.Guitar Lessons - Dave Van Ronk. I thought, could this be the real Dave Van Ronk? I called and when he answered the phone it was obviously him!

    I turned up at his apartment a week later for our first lesson. The place was tiny. He was a very articulate and gentle man. Often we would would overun our alloted time just talking about music, things in the news.

    God Bless You Dave.

  • I miss Dave Van Ronk so very much. I enjoyed so many of his folk performances in the Village and at festivals and he always gave everything he had into each performance. There can never be another Dave Van Ronk.

  • @UncleErnie71 So I do.

  • The man is posessed by folk - it was an honor to see him in his later years (2000?) play a small town near me - 18 people and Dave with his Guild - it felt surreal.

  • The Coen brothers are writing a script based on his memoir. Hope it follows through.

  • @blindbonder i'll tune in on that!

  • @blindbonder Interested? I'm fascinated. Please do. Thank you very much! :)

  • @HippieGuitarBoy If you are still interested, I can put up a lesson for how to play this song. Let me know

  • God damn what a performance, heard a lot about Dave Van Ronk through Bob Dylan but haven't heard a lot of his actual performances, what a voice!

  • Damn@!

  • @steelpikker The best cover ever of He Was a Friend of Mine is definitely Van Ronk's! I have it on an old LP, but I have no idea how to digitalize and upload, sorry! Over the years, it has also been my favorite Van Ronk. I loved that man.

  • Dave gave me so much joy !! I miss him
