How Many Roads: Bob Dylan and His Changing Times, 1961-64 at NYU

 


The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa started a traveling exhibition featuring Bob Dylan's early career in New York City.  It was held at NYU in Greenwich Village, where Dylan performed in the early 1960s before he became famous.  There were photos, videos, and artifacts demonstrating:
  • Dylan and other folk singers at the March on Washington in August 1963
  • Dylan's early concerts in NYC
  • Robert Shelton's articles in the New York Times
  • Dylan singing "Only a Pawn in Their Game."
  • Dylan refused to appear on The Ed Sullivan Show when the producers would not let him  sing Talkin' John Birch Society Blues.
This exhibit will close on October 15, so my readers in NYC should see it before then.  I assume it will shown in other cities.

I learned that there was supposed to be an album featuring his performances at Town Hall and Carnegie Hall in 1963.  The cover is below.
