Many people mentioned early in his career are familiar to me. Had no idea they had anything to do with Bob. He started out with folk, comedy, old time musicians, and and many guys in the music industry. Being in the right place and meeting and impressing certain persons with his songs, he scored a record contract within 9 months while in New York. At 20 he was playing before crowds and created such a sensation that many thought was the new guru and the stardom eventually wore him down and turned him against the press and most of the public. Many funny and intentionally foolish answers to the interviewers.
