Re: Subject: Re: [Harp-L] dylan electric

That's a great article. It really brings me back  to the mood of the time and how angry people were at Dylan for going  electric. I  thought he was a great harp player, way  idiosyncratic, but great in his own way.
 
  The article mentions 2 other singer-songwriters, Phil Ochs and Tom  Paxton. After Ochs got hit in the throat doing a gig in North Africa it  pretty much ended his career. He became an Elvis impersonator, if I  recall, and committed suicide.
  
  Last time I saw Tom Paxton he was working as a security guard at the  Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Anybody know if he's around making music  anymore?

If  you type dylan electric and newport into a search string you'll trip 
over  several accounts of the newport show and what turned out to be the 
death  knell for the Folk revival of the early 60's.  Fascinating  
reading.  Dylan did play the Carnegie Hall Woody Guthrie memorial  
concert backed by a band then known as the Crackers.  They were later  to 
become the Band who Dylan did tour with several years later.  Here's  a 
link to one of the several articles I found on this subject,
