My Day with Bob Dylan

Pulling up to a stop light at the corner of LaGuardia Place and 3rd Street, he spotted Bob Dylan standing on the corner, looking dazed. Frank rolled down his window and introduced himself to the "generation poet" a bold step that began his fascinating day and night with Bob Dylan.
This is Frank's personal account, revisiting the actual locations of their tumultuous day and night; the bars they hit, the conversations they had, the streets they walked, the colorful character they encountered, the music they played, and the fleeting friendship they established on that warm summer day in Greenwich Village.
This soundtrack features a recent Frank's recent recording covering Dylan's landmark classic, "Positively 4th Street."
Frank wanted to thank gifted lyricist and song writing partner June Baxter, for her photograph of Frank sitting at the piano shortly before the end credits.

Never met Bob, but spent a lot of time with Eric Von Schmidt. It was Eric who gave Bob the song, "Baby can I follow you down?". He said Dylan had a memory that was just incredible. He listened to Eric sing the song one time and Dylan performed it the next night. Sadly, Eric died in 2007. But he leaves behind a whole lot of contributions to American culture, both in art and music.
