Добавлен 16 ноя 2014
The Dinkytown neighborhood in Minneapolis was a crossroads, a meeting ground, a place of social and cultural ferment that would have a profound effect on life in Minnesota and the nation that continues today. Beginning in the late 1950s, with great numbers of servicemen enrolling in the University thanks to the GI bill, and continuing through the ’60s and ‘70s when the University’s student population was one of the largest in the U.S., Dinkytown was a seminal place for a cultural flowering in literature, music, and dance, as well as a transformational social and political ethic.
Spider John Koerner Interview
John Koerner came to the U of M and Dinkytown in the late 1950s. He dropped out of school and was briefly in the Marines. He returned to Dinkytown in 1959 after visiting coffee houses in Los Angeles and San Francisco and nurtured the scene in Dinkytown playing guitar at the Scholar.
He was already performing there when Bob Zimmerman (Dylan) came to Dinkytown. A few years later Koerner joined with Dave Ray and Tony Glover and recorded the classic Koerner, Ray & Glover album Blues, Rags, & Hollers which influenced a generation of musicians including the Beatles.
