Me and Ramblin' Jack Elliott: 1966

I had been hanging out at the folk clubs in Greenwich Village many years before this was taken. In the photograph I was fresh in from Santa Cruz, CA, and had my "Psychedelic" '47 Ambulance parked on MacDougal Street about in front of the long gone but not forgotten Gaslight Cafe. Note the upper cockpit and windscreens where you could sit high (no pun) and watch the world go by. The rotating radar antenna is fully operational. Bought at a city auction in Santa Cruz. I was three miles away from Ken Kesey's place in Soquel -- and now you know where the color scheme came from. View full size.

Ramblin Jack in his 1949 Midwood High School Yearbook

Ramblin Jack, nee Elliot Adnopoz, in his 1949 Midwood High School Yearbook, Brooklyn. His address would have put him in the Erasmus Hall HS district, but for some reason, he went to Midwood.

Nice Car

Looks like a photo you might find on the back of an old Dylan album.

Kid Charlemagne

Cool!
