Fascinating to see all this. Really good performance of a really good song; you hear how strong Dylan's vocal influence was on Arlo, too. And seeing the datebook is very cool. I looked up "Harold Levethal," and that's almost certainly a misprint since it was "Harold Leventhal," with an "n," who was Guthrie's manager. The big question, however, is: who was Dr. Barth and how is it possible he was only charging $10 for an appointment!
Classic stuff on all levels, straight out of pynchon, especially w arkins brother and Dr. Barth. -- any ancient vid of Ron Carter et al playing with Roberta Flack?
Cindy McGuirl’s podcast about ‘uncle Paul’ has been my companion 2-3 times weekly on my mountain walks. It’s been highly educational. Carla Bley’s material features most of an episode, for a few days now I’m playing her ex Paul’s blistering version of When Will The Blues Leave in my head. Is it the 3.5th count? I don’t even know what to call them properly.
The bassist is Bob Arkin, brother of famous actor Alan Arkin. A profile in the New York Times from 2014 by Corey Kilgannon is utterly charming https://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/13/nyregion/an-arkin-brothers-standing-commitment.html

What’s really remarkable about Iverson’s enjoyable and informative writings is how open and unsnobbish is about music well done. Thanks for that.
