DAVID KENNETH RITZ VAN RONK, aka, DAVE VAN RONK was born in Brooklyn, New York City on 6-30-1936. He played his guitar 'fingerpicking style' and started performing in 1959 and was friends with Bob Dylan, Tom Paxton, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Joni Mitchell, and more. DAVE refused to fly and never learned to drive! He rode buses, trains or had a friend that would drive him! His career was over when he died 2-10-2002. My album, "Songs For Ageing Children" was released in1973, is very gently used and shipped USPS Media Mail.
