come back, baby

Inspiration for Inside Llewellyn Davis, mentor to Robert Zimmerman, sage of 1960s Lower East Side Manhattan, The Mayor of Macdougal Street himself:  Dave Van Ronk.  

As with a lot of his arrangements, I thought, hey that sounds easy enough, let’s pull up a tab and give it a go.  Nope.  Hard as shit.

I’m so tired of trying.

You do it, Dave.
