Troubadour Tales - Bob Dylan in Minnesota (https://www.radiodarmstadt.de/news/dylanhour-troubador-tales.html)

The October edition of the DylanHour focuses on a new publication from the Dylan cosmos.
Bob Dylan in Minnesota - Troubadour Tales from Duluth, Hibbing and Dinkytown by Keith Miles (published by McNidder & Grace).

This is the third book, after London and New York, in which Keith Miles traces the places that played a role in the life and career of Bob Dylan.

For this book, he contacted much of the Dylan network in Minnesota, who freely provided him with stories from Dylan's youth (in Hibbing & Duluth), "study period" in Minneapolis & Dinkytown.

With Marc Percansky, one of the co-authors, I talked about his part in this book, the interview has been included in this show framed by a few outtakes from The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 1980-1985 "Springtime in New York." *

Since the DylanHour traditionally deals with new publications from the narrower and wider other Dylan cosmos during the book fair in Frankfurt, the host also presents the volume of poems published by Schöffling & Co. at the end of August.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti: Starting From San Francisco.

+ Invitation to a cinema evening of a special kind:
Marco Demel presents the Biopic about the life and work of Eric Andersen: THE SONGPOET in cooperation with Adelung 33. 
October 26. Admission free/donations requested, starts at 20.00.

DylanHour - Troubadour Tales: Bob Dylan in Minnesota with Marc Percansky

ELLIOTT MURPHY - INFINITY - 08 - Night Surfing

Inspired by his love of punk and garage band music of the 1980s, Jon Clifford started a hair salon by Loring Park in Minneapolis in 2011. It’s a funky, one-of-a-kind place helmed by a funky, one-of-a-kind guy filled with music and Minnesota music memorabilia. Jon later added a record store with John Kass, focusing on local music, next to the salon; hence the name HiFi Hair and Records with “the best waiting room in the city.”

A welcoming place for a hair cut, the salon is filled with Jon’s craftsmanship, humor, quirkiness, creativity, and a feel good sense of community. 

This episode was written and produced by Dixie Treichel. Erika Janik is the managing editor of MinneCulture. Support for MinneCulture on KFAI is provided by the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
