In May 2011, BBC Radio broadcast a special season of programmes to celebrate Bob Dylan’s 70th birthday. There were around 25 in total. Some were purely music shows, others took a more documentary style and there were some discussion shows which looked at different aspects of the man’s life and career.

I’m in the midst of uploading all of these in the order they were broadcast (with the exception of the 6-part Bob Dylan Story and Blowin’ in the Wind: Bob Dylan’s Spiritual Journey, both of which are already available on Demonoid).

This is upload number 19, the second instalment of a 2-part series called The Musical History of Greenwich Village, from BBC Radio 2 in which John Sebastian, founder member of The Lovin’ Spoonful, takes a nostalgic journey around his native Greenwich Village in New York, telling the story of a particularly creative period in modern music history.

In this programme he highlights the continued impact Bob Dylan had on the music scene in the early 60s, how Jimi Hendrix was discovered playing in The Café Wha?, Andy Warhol’s influential work with the Velvet Underground and Patti Smith, The New York Dolls, Blondie and Talking Heads striking the first chords in the birth of punk.
