Short story:
Bob Dylan meets Mike Porco, influential owner of Gerde's Folk City, Greenwich Village, New York City, USA, for the first time. Porco will give Dylan some of his earliest gigs.Full article:
Mike Porco : Dylan came in and said he was from out of town. He said, 'Can I go on and play?' He looked too young and I asked him for proof of age. There was a Youth Squad checking all the time, so the first time Dylan came in I didn't let him play. The following week, he came in with proof of age. I don't remember if it was a birth certificate. He was called Dylan from the beginning, but Zimmerman was on his papers.
