First, the connection: Dave Barry was a senior at Haverford College when I was a freshman. I'm tickled to say that he hasn't changed much, although from this video it looks like his guitar playing might have gotten a little better than it was when he played with Federal Duck in 1969. What we have here is a video of Roger McGuinn of The Byrds singing the 1967 Dylan classic You Ain't Goin' Nowhere with the Rock B

First, the connection: Dave Barry was a senior at Haverford College when I was a freshman. I’m tickled to say that he hasn’t changed much, although from this video it looks like his guitar playing might have gotten a little better than it was when he played with Federal Duck in 1969.

What we have here is a video of Roger McGuinn of The Byrds singing the 1967 Dylan classic You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere with the Rock Bottom Remainders.

Dave is at the left playing guitar and singing choruses. Steve Martin is next to him on banjo. Roger is at the mike. Ridley Pearson is on his right singing and playing the guitar. Matt Groening is at the far right. Mitch Albom is at the far left watching.

Enjoy!
