*(FOOTNOTE…In the 1960’s, the Café Espresso at 59 Tinker Street was Woodstock’s hub for folk music. Bob Dylan came up from Greenwich Village, NYC, in 1963, and befriended the Paturel Family who owned the Cafe. Bob worked here, in a room with a manual typewriter, creating music that helped people understand the changes of a turbulent decade in America, and pulling in many friends and visitors including Joan Baez, Peter Yarrow, Levon Helm, Happy Traum, and John Sebastian.)
