Right, so Dave Van Ronk is the Bob Dylan your ex-hippie-turned-banker father never told you about 'cus he was never really that into the music anyway. Van Ronk was actually Bob Dylan's first New York City mentor/guru/object of worship. That should tell you something.
It won't tell you everything, though. For that, you should listen to his music. Here's him giving a guitar lesson on the old song "Green Green Rocky Road." Do your psyche - your soul, really - a favor and pick up a fifty dollar guitar and learn this.
