"As for the jug band, that came about more or less by accident. One weekend
Max Gordon, the owner of the
Village Vanguard, was in Cambridge for some reason, and he walked by the Club
47 and saw this huge line of
people waiting to get in to see the Jim Kweskin Jug Band. In his mind's eye
he transposed this queue to 7th
Avenue South, where he had his room, and visions of sugarplums started
dancing in his head. So when he got
back to New York, he called Robert Shelton and said, 'Are there any jug bands
around town?' Bob said, 'Well,
yeah, but what you really ought to do is get hold of Dave Van Ronk and have
him put one together.' So he did,
and I did."
