More Misc. Dylan Tangled Up in Blue again, and Hurricane w touch of Pynchon

[Richard Ryan]

Norman Raeben.  Legendary New York art teacher - Dylan has credited him as
the major influence on BOTT.  There's very little info available about him
online: he lived in the now-repossessed artists apartments in Carnegie Hall
(see the documentary film "Lost Bohemia").  Would like to see more of his
work - if you google him you mostly endless references to Dylan (not Bob's
fault obviously, but it would be nice to see something just about
Raeben....)....
