Brucie, Mark,
I was born in '59. I found him (like Dylan) later. If I have any memories of a girl it was probably my grade four teacher. But I think that there was an innocence about Donovan. I also believe that he lacked the confidence that he was entitled to. It could have come from Dylan dismossing him as evidenced in "Don't Look Back". But I think that where Dylan created his magic by putting his slant on his American influences, Donovan did the same using British Folk Influence. Thank goodness for both of them.
