Bob Dylan Appeared on the Gerde's Scene

Exactly like this👇🏽 Watch the short👇🏽 Subscribe

🎤 On the 6th or 7th or 9th of April 1961, Bob Dylan was probably doing a rehearsal for his first ever pro event. Quite possibly, he was with MIKE PORCO at the Local Union hall paying his dues and getting his NYC Cabaret card to perform professionally. Only Bob knows, now.

🎸 Mike Porco signed as his legal guardian that day, fronted Zimmerman the dues and most certainly fed him for the next two weeks as Bobby (not yet legally Dylan) opened up for John Lee Hooker at Gerde’s. It was a tiny room, Folk City was, but it was Hooker and Dylan’s for a week. Because of the packed house shows, they were held over for another week. Mike never charged musicians for meals. Dylan’s union dues and Cabaret fee is another story.

Usually, musicians were welcome to eat dinners with the staff before showtime and expenses were trimmed off the top of the musician’s $90 weekly payday.

TWENTY THREE INTERVIEWEES made it happen.

🎥So many greats went on camera with their memories. The documentary is about two main characters, if you will. That would be MIKE PORCO and the MOTHERSHIP, GERDE’S FOLK CITY.

For reasons that you’ll learn in the movie, TWO other main figures were spoken about. The two OTHER main characters on everyone’s lips were Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs.
