   I got Heylin's "The Double Life of Bob Dylan" (Part One) for Christmas, but   
   couldn't get past the Intro, which skipped around a lot. I've given it another   
   try, skipping the Intro, and have gotten caught up in it. I really like the   
   description of Bob's    
   teen-age years, when he was playing mostly Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis   
   stuff on piano. At Camp Herzl, he met a fellow named Larry Kegan, whom he   
   looked up to; and with a third, Louie Kemp, formed a trio. Until Kegan, in   
   Florida, dived into what he    
   thought was deep water, but turned out to be a foot deep, and broke his neck.   
   Larry spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair, and Bob stayed friends with   
   him until his death in 2001.   
      
   Here are some pictures of that time, from EDLIS: https://expecti

   And here, in 1981, is Larry singing "No Money Down" (first in Indiana, then in   
   Boston), with Bob accompanying on saxophone: https://www.youtube
