I`ve just been reading about Fred Neil playing at New York`s Cafe Wha` in 1960. He used to invite a girl called Karen Dalton to join him on vocals, as well as permitting an aspiring 19-year-old from Minnesota to play harmonica with him. Twenty-five years later, the harmonica player had this to say:-

Quote:
I used to play with a guy called Fred Neil ... he would play mostly the types of songs that Josh White might sing. I would play harmonica for him and then once in a while get to sing a song ... when he was taking a break or something. It was his show...
Here`s a pic of them playing together:-
