For Christmas don’t buy her a drum, get her a harmonica. However, in 1961 a noted but virtually unknown virtuoso on the pesky instrument was already warning that playing one ain’t all that easy. The girls back at Bonnie Beecher’s sorority house would have questioned the “virtuoso” rating for the quoted Mr. Dylan. Instead, they’d quickly vouch for how difficult it was for him to play when he tried to make sounds like a freight train but out came terrible squawking noises. Informal playing tips from Tony Glover seemed to be more helpful than anything.
Dylan didn’t go to Finland (not until 1987).
Then, who did go to Finland & the very large commie youth festival in July-August 1962?I know it now: Jerry Silverman, Archie Shepp and Perry Robinson went to Finland, tells Mr. Joni Krekola in his book (page 152-153).
Silverman is an American folksinger, guitar teacher and author of music books & (note!) the editor at Sing Out! A Folk Music Magazine (with Seeger).
Saturday 23 November 1963. Would you have chosen to go to the Dylan?

Off-the-cuff interview with Bob Dylan. Brown Daily Herald, Tuesday 28 April 1964.
Full newspaper page here:
Memorable quotations include:
“The blues is a pair of pants without any pockets… The blues is a pair of torn pants without anything in the pockets… Blues is a color. That’s all.”
===
“I’m not a folk singer any more than anybody is.” And then as he climbed into the car, he hollered out, much to the delight of some three or four dozen fans, “Folk singers are communists.”
===
“I try to think about my own life. The things that count in my own life. Important things, like my head. I worry about my head. Not the commercialization of folk music.”
===
“THERE’S NOTHING SO STABLE AS CHANGE.”
===
“Folk singers don’t eat enough mushrooms… I think that unless they get on the mushrooms they’re all going to waste. They’re all going to turn into Harry Belafontes.”
