"Van Ronk told me later that Grossman had discussed with him the possibility of Dave playing in a new super folk group he was putting together. Grossman had no illusions or doubts that the group was going to go straight to the top, be immensely popular." #dylanchronicles

"Usually when Grossman talked, his voice was loud, like the booming of war drums. He didn't talk so much as growl. Grossman was from Chicago, had a nonshow business background but didn't let that stand in his way." #dylanchronicles @bobdylan #116macdougalthemovie #coming2018

"Stookey could imitate singers imitating other singers. He was very funny. One of his more outrageous imitations was Dean Martin imitating Little Richard." #dylanchronicles @bobdylan #116macdougalthemovie #coming2018

"There was nothing upscale about the Gaslight, no ringside tables or anything, but it was always packed from start to finish--some people sitting at tables, some standing and crowded up along the walls--bare brick walls, low-level lighting and pipes exposed."

"Even on cold winter nights there was a line to get in, clusters of people huddled in the doorway, twin entrances downstairs. There were always so many people inside, it was hard to breathe. I don't know how many it could hold, but it always seemed like ten thousand or more."

“I swung on to my old guitar. Grabbed hold of a subway car. And after a rocking, reeling, rolling ride, I landed up on the downtown side. Greenwich Village.” 56 years ago Bob Dylan arrived in Greenwich Village and headed straight to The Gaslight. 116 MacDougal tells that story.

Ginsberg on Dylan: I think he is a very great poet. He is a very lovable genius & I hope he lives to be 100. circa1965 @ginsbergquotes @bobdylan #beatpoets #greenwichvillage #gaslight #116macdougalst #116macdougalthemovie #coming2018 https://t.co/Wwn70qVjms

“I kept my sights on the Gaslight. How could I not? Compared to it, the rest of the places on the street were nameless & miserable, low-level basket houses or coffeehouses where the performers passed the hat.” Bob Dylan @OfficialBDylan #gaslight #116macdougalthemovie #coming2018

"Van Ronk worked at the Gaslight, a cryptic club-had a dominate presence on the street, more prestige than any place else. It had mystique, a big colorful banner out front and paid a weekly wage." @bobdylan #chronicles #gaslight #greenwichvillage #116macdougalthemovie #coming2018

[Gaslight Cafe: THE JOHN MITCHELL STORY @GASLIGHTCAFE116]

"As Van Ronk put the guitar down, I stepped over and put my hands on it and asked him at the same time, how does someone get to work down at the Gaslight, who do you have to know?" @bobdylan #chronicles #gaslight #116macdougalst #116macdougalthemovie #coming2018

[Gaslight Cafe: THE JOHN MITCHELL STORY @GASLIGHTCAFE116]

"I'd soon be hired to play at the Gaslight and never see the basket houses again. But now destiny was about to manifest itself. I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else." @bobdylan #chronicles #gaslight #greenwichvillage #116macdougalthemovie #coming2018
