In '64 I'd taken a bus to New York & when hotels were too expensive I lived on the street---walked all night pretty much---slept in Central Park pretending to sun bathe daytimes leaving guita with a fellow named Jose selling hotdogs on the Staten Island Ferry. Went back there later in the day---got my guitar & stuff & played at the Wha a few nights. Saw R. Burton do HAMLET with crazy streets 'cause Liz was picking him up after the show. Mounted horse cops to keep unruly throngs more ruly. Got fed up after several weeks. Went to D.C. & met Joe Hickerson. (He & I are doing a presentation at the Folk Alliance annual convention in Cleveland this coming February. You are all welcome----if you can take Cleveland in winter.) If there's a blizzard we can occupy & take over the Rock Hall Of Fame. Bring your own Laphroaig and donuts.
