Yes, Bruno Wolf was originally a guy named David Simon from Great Neck, Long Island. I knew him first in the Village through a girl named Wendy Shore and through Perry Lederman, both of whom I knew at the Univ. of Michigan in Ann Arbor. David was a rather comical guy and bright and played guitar a little I think and had a harmonica. He later got into health foods and was selling these from a push cart and maybe even had a restaurant in the East Village. Then he was in Jim Kweskin's Jug Band where he sang and played harmonica. After that I do not know what happened to him although he was already talking about Scientology. It seems the surviving members of Kweskin's Jug Band would know more about David Simon. I am still friends with Jim, Geoff, and Maria and will ask them. I will be performing in a FESTIVAL over Memorial Day celebrating he Fiftieth Anniversary of the DENVER FOLKLORE CENTER and will see Jim and Geoff there. I am just finishing my CD # 7 by the way Keep on Singing, Marc S. Silber (www.marcsilbermusic.com)
