The Mayor of MacDougal Street by Dave Van Ronk

3.0

If your roots lead anywhere near the Village folk scene in NYC, then you've heard Van Ronk, and know he was a major influence to the assembled (and dis-assembled) folkies. He was a rambling, shambling story teller, and much of this book is not news, but it's a great read in his own voice. Dave Van Ronk smoked himself to death, but the music goes on and on...
