I learnt to fingerpick from Dave Folk Blues & Ragtime Dvd. I decided i would try to contact him via email to tell him how much i had learned from him and how he inspired me, you can imagine how gutted i was when i found out that he had died a few months before i had stumbled on the dvd. Anyway thank you he willalways be an inspiration to me!

Sweetest musician I've met. He signed my copy of Songs for Aging Children, bought me a drink and sang Work With Me Anni, (after he learned my name)
Big man, big heart big soul. God, I miss him...

Best performer of this song by unknown writer. No it wasn't Len Chandler. Dave was great at times (Not on blues). Goodbye old Marxist friend.

I watched Dave live in Massachusetts in the 80s. Walked into the club as he sang this song. Just the song I hoped he'd play. Our eyes locked.
He was alone at the bar during break, so I plopped down next to him. I introduced myself and we discussed Bob Dylan, and especially Taj Mahal ("he's brilliant") and Joni Mitchell ("best female singer-songwriter, of her generation").

Not just a fine musician, but a fine man, ahead of the arc of history. I doubt that many people know today, on the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, that Van Ronk, a hetrerosexual, took part in the famous riot that launched the modern gay rights movement. Charged with "harrassment" of one of the cops busting in to the Stonewall bar, Van Ronk was arrested, handcuffed, taken into the Stonewall, and later taken away in a patrol wagon. Rest in Peace, Dave.
