INTRODUCTION
This is the first year from which we have Bob Dylan recordings.
The first of these is however very questionable and shows a singer with a
voice very much unlike the one we hear just a couple of months later. The year
was spent mostly in St Paul, rehearsing, as it were, for Greenwich Village.
1. CALENDAR
January Dylan starts to perform at the Purple Onion Pizza Parlour
in St Paul, Minnesota.
February Dylan performs regularly with "Spider" John Koerner at the
Ten O'Clock Scholar, singing songs like "They Called The
Wind Maria"
May The first (?) known recording is made in Karen Wallace's
apartment in St Paul. The tape contains 27 songs and shows
a singer with a country voice a la Hank Williams rather
than the later nasal Woody Guthrie impersonation. There are
however different opinions about the genuinity of this tape.
Michael Krogsgaard omits it in his "Master of the Tracks".
Clinton Heylin and Glen Dundas accept it as a Dylan
recording.
May Dylan appears regularly on the Purple Onion and The
Bastille in St Paul, singing songs like "Go Down You
Murderers", "Sinner Man", "House Of The Risin' Sun" and
"Man Of Constant Sorrow".
His first compositions are written including "One Eyed Jacks"
and "Greyhound Blues"
Summer Plays piano in a strip-joint called "The Gilded Garter" in
Central City, Colorado. Hangs out at the Denver coffee house
"The Exodus", where he first meets Jesse Fuller.
Early September Reads "Bound For Glory" by Woody Guthrie.
September First undisputed and circulating Dylan recording is taped
in Dylan's apartment on 15th Avenue South in Minneapolis,
which he shared with High Brown. The Guthrie influence is
already very notable.
Fall Dylan continues to perform at The Purple Onion and
The Bastille in St Paul.
December Dylan leaves St Paul and Minneapolis and goes to Chicago,
playing in coffee houses and at student parties. He is now
performing almost only Woody Guthrie songs
