Bob Dylan is 80

 

Izzy Young: "Hats off to Bob!"

Izzy Young organised Bob's first New York concert on 4th November 1961

I first heard Bob singing 'Blowing in the wind' and some other songs in the BBC TV play,

Madhouse on Castle Street, on 13th January, 1963. He made a lasting impression.

The BBC wiped the videotape, This audio recording remains

I was soon trying to learn his songs.

Bob learnt a lot from the Beat writers.
