My Day with Bob Dylan

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2024
- In 1975, Frank Dapuzzo had just finished performing at Gerdie's Folk City in Greenwich Village, NYC and was in his car for the drive back to New Jersey.
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. - บันเทิง
I smiled for 11 minutes, what a great story and what a great storyteller, thank you Frank
Great story. You related to him as a musician. and not an icon. That did it for him. Cool.
What a great great story!!! i went to the Village in '67 and spent the summer livin my Bob Dylan dream. Playin guitar in the park, meetin girls and hangin out in the clubs and coffeehouses. What a place, what a time!
+softail springer perhaps in next life, i can be born in another time and place, with someone else to show someone else to face, im saying that dylan didnt :(
I love this! Thank you!
Wow. stumbled across this video....what a story, enjoyed it so much!
Same. ✌️🖖🌼
Frank, your story was beautiful. It gave me goosebumps and warmth.
nice - i smiled all the way through that video.
Frank! Today is my birthday and your day with Bob is the icing on my cake! Loved it! I’ll always love Bob Dylan🌞
Happy 64th Birthday 🎂 to me!
Beautiful and inspirational!!!!!!!! Truth be told, I think Bob was lucky to meet YOU.
Do you know this guy? If not are you just being patronising?
Really enjoyed this
that was the sweetest video ever...,and I'm jealous. I am and have always been his #1 fan...he changed my life!
This guy is so cool.... and I'm sooo jealous
This was one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen on the internet, my heart's full of melancholy, sounds like you were living the dream for one night, what an amazing oportunity!. Thanks for sharing it, I really love stories. Have a good life man
What a beautiful day, man...worth writing a song about!
Frank, just stumbled on this vid. It was great. Hope Bob sees this and wants to reminiscence with a cool guy from Hoboken...Bob T.
Yea! I live in Hoboken too....right across from Marineview...loved this story.
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.
Loved Eric's song. He was great !
love that song: Baby can I follow you down?
Its 2 am in the morning! Searching Dylan stuff. Found your story. Mint, original and how fortunate to be complimented by Bob. Your Sincerity - appreciated. I could feel Manhattan. Loved it Thanks
I really want to here Frank's songs now.
Just watched this with my dad, and safe to say your high spirits were contagious! Thanks for helping us end our day on quite the high note!
Frank, you tell a good story. Thanks for the tour!
This is storytelling at its absolute best. Fantastic and inspirational .
Nice story. Genuine. Thanks for telling us about it. You and Bob are both good guys.
Wow! You're a great storyteller Frank! I forgot where I was I was swept up by your words. I like how the film is in black and white too! I wish at the end we'd hear at least one of the songs you played or recited your lyrics... but it is what it is and a great story, and great film making how the camera followed you to the actual places so many years later and how poignant the editing or in perfect sych with your story the pictures of Bob and the sound track too! Thanks to you and the film maker for sharing something so special!
Fascinating story, I apologise on behalf of all English men for the drunken bum.
Who knows if the guy really was from England, he may have mistaken an Aussie or Kiwi for a Englishman. I doubt if he checked his papers, he was prone for violence and may not have been thinking clearly.
After those tours he did in England in the 60s, I think he was used to that treatment from you blokes.
There is a lot of aggression in English people, speaking as one. And many seem to have an inferiority complex about Americans, and end up talking bull about them, afraid to say. Encouraged by our wild MSM. I remember clearly what it was like in '66 during the tour.
me too
Absolutely loved this video. Thanks Frank. I have. a friend here in Perth in Western Australia who has a story about her meeting Bob. He was on a tour here. She was stopped in the street by an American guy with his girlfriend and asked if she could suggest a good place to eat close by - The story, a bit like yours continues from there......... incidentally, she plays guitar and sings but not a fan of Dylan, and she told him that. But it didn't stop a very interesting day unfolding.
This is such a great story. Thank's for sharing!
Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome story, I'd love to meet Dylan, especially back in '75...musta been a real trip. Thanks for sharing.
Good story, well told. Thank you.
Spent the afternoon visiting BD sites in Greenwich Village. This video really brought everything to life. Thanks, and God bless you!
Awe. Some. Thank you for sharing that Frank. Sounds like a dream but clearly was real. Very cool!
Thank you for the story. I have always liked Bob too.
What an experience, what a story, what a memory! Bob is who inspired me to become a singer-songwriter too! You were so lucky to meet him all those years back!
Hey Jim...now that was a great story...thanks for sharing....put a smile on my face man....put a smile on my face...yeah..😊
Sweet story told by a man with a great memory (well, I guess I would remember a night like that...lol) and wonderful animator. Dylan and John Hammond Jr are two of my fav musicians, so the climax was right up there! Thank you Frank Zulakis.
That is beautiful, great story, great storyteller, so nice to see those memorable places and streets, hats off to the chess forum in the background
Thank you this was great.
Wow, that is great, Frank. By having the class and humility to hang out one night with you, Dylan gave you an unforgettable gift.
Great story Frank and well told
bless. really enjoyed this
Great story!! You are very lucky sir.
Great story! I used to go to the Village back then when all the folk singers had more or less taken over, replacing the Beatniks. I was playing and teaching the guitar from the age of 14 or so. Loved those days! Great Coffee Houses, great people, great times! Would stay there all night sometimes and saw a lot of great acts... but never had a night like Frak Dapuzzo did, what a lucky guy! Thanks Frank for the story, brings back some really great memories.
That really just made my day !! Franks the best !!!!
Thanks for this. Fun story. I've had dreams a little bit like this.
Lovely story told beautifully by a nice guy in gorgeous NYC. Wow!
What a great story and said so well.
Thanks Frank for sharing your story. You're obviously a good guy and that as well as your songs was why Bob wanted to hang with you. And it's sweet and self-deprecating of you to use Positively 4th Street as the soundtrack. I was introduced to John Hammond Jr once here in Paris, that was nice. I was also introduced to Bob once too. Our conversation? Me: "Hi Bob"; Bob: "Hi man". Strangely, that was enough for me. I then just hung around while he talked to more important people, just wishing there was a photographer there.
Wow! What a great story and Frank is so humble and cool about the whole thing.
Fantastic story, well told 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic story, I realy enjoy of your memmories
Very cool & I hope you get to meet him again for another drink and song.
Fantastic story, thank you for sharing! I'm sure that mixing it up with "everyday" people helped him keep his songwriting and ego authentic as well, so you did something for him too!
What a great evening, u indeed are lucky, I hope bob or one of his friends sees the clip and perhaps u may have a second round of drinks with the legend Bob Dylan.
Thanks very much for sharing your story.
Cheers Colin

Took his time storytelling his Unforgettable Meeting with Dylan, Playing music till 5 am. Memories🌹❣️👌
Amazing story,,, thanks for sharing!!! I'm so glad I caught this video! Bob's songs would not be Bob's songs without Bob's voice. That voice is needed for those songs
Hi Margaret - Thanks for the kudos. Your point about Dylan's distinctive voice is well taken. We first posted the video with the Dylan track, but TH-cam took it down for copyright issues, so in order to keep sharing Frank's story, we were forced to replace the track. We tried to honor the original as best we could.
@@ZULAKISCREATIVE - Yes, I wondered about that. I could tell right away it wasn't Bob singing the song, though it was a pretty good cover of it anyway. (Of course, I would have known right away if I'd read what you posted underneath....but I just started listening first, and then read those notes later. Nice story! Bob has been my greatest inspiration too.)
Good version of Pos4thStreet! Great personal account, thankyou!
Thanks for sharing. Thoroughly enjoyed this!
