Eric von Schmidt's House, 532 Beach Road, Siesta Key, Sarasota, FL, May 1964 (thanks to Bob Stacy for finding an article in "The Telegraph" #44, Winter 1992, describing this tape, which was found in the early 1990s in eastern Europe in a house close to the Russian border!): Bob And Eric Blues (Bob Dylan/Eric von Schmidt); Black Betty (Traditional); Come All You Fair And Tender Ladies (Traditional) (version now released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 - The Basement Tapes Complete); Florida Woman (Eric von Schmidt); Johnny Cuckoo (Traditional). Thanks to Katherine Kelly for letting me know the photo on the right was taken in Eric's studio at Siesta Key, FL, after he left the house at 532 Beach Road, then owned by her mother Kay Kelly, who was married to Eric for eight years. In his book "A Life In Stolen Moments - Bob Dylan Day By Day: 1941-1995" Clinton Heylin expresses doubts about the location and date - not only is it difficult to slot a visit to Florida into Bob's schedule for that period, but Eric, who died in 2007, told Clinton Bob never visited him at his house. This is confirmed by Katherine, who was 11-12 at the time and remembers folk stars such as Joan Baez (see the photo below right) and Geoff and Maria Muldaur visiting Eric and Kay in Siesta Key, but not Bob. On the Steve Hoffman Forum "Hollowhorn" thinks that the tape was more likely to have been recorded in New York state or New England. A woman's voice can be heard on the tape (identified in the "Telegraph" article as Kay Kelly), but Katherine says she has a Massachusetts accent and is not her mother or Joan Baez. This uncertainty is mentioned in a 2014 article in the local "Herald Tribune" newspaper: R-1127 Bob And Eric Blues #1 (Bob Dylan/Eric von Schmidt), recorded at Eric von Schmidt's House, 532 Beach Road, Siesta Key, Sarasota, FL, May 1964 R-1128 Black Betty (Traditional), recorded as R-1127 R-1129 Come All You Fair And Tender Ladies (Traditional), recorded as R-1127 R-1130 Florida Woman (Eric von Schmidt), recorded as R-1127 R-1131 Johnny Cuckoo (Traditional), recorded as R-1127 LP2 Side 1 (C): Eric von Schmidt's House, 532 Beach Road, Siesta Key, Sarasota, FL, May 1964: Money Honey (Jesse Stone); More And More (Webb Pierce/Merle Kilgore); Mr. Tambourine Man (the first known performance!); Susie Q (Dale Hawkins/Stan Lewis/Eleanor Broadwater); Harmonica Duet (Bob Dylan/Eric von Schmidt); Glory, Glory (Traditional, arranged by Dob Dylan/Eric von Schmidt) (a different version was released on Dick Fariña and Eric von Schmidt (Folklore, UK, 1964), Solano Records (USA, 2007), see 1964. R-1132 Money Honey (Jesse Stone), recorded as R-1127 R-1133 More And More (Webb Pierce/Merle Kilgore), recorded as R-1127 R-1134 Mr. Tambourine Man, recorded as R-1127 R-1135 Susie Q (Dale Hawkins/Stan Lewis/Eleanor Broadwater), recorded as R-1127 R-1136 Harmonica Duet (Bob Dylan/Eric von Schmidt), recorded as R-1127 R-1137 Glory, Glory (Traditional, arranged by Bob Dylan/Eric von Schmidt), recorded as R-1127 |
