BTW, The Gaslight also hosted songwriters from various types of music.

"Bob Dylan began performing at the Gaslight in June 1961, and there he premiered "Masters of War" and "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall." Dave Van Ronk, Mississippi John Hurt, Reverend Gary Davis, Son House, Doc Watson, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Jose Feliciano, John Hammond Jr., and Richie Havens all played the club. The Gaslight closed in 1967 but reopened a year later under new owner Ed Simon; it shut down for good in 1971."
