James Norstad said All the things you always wanted to know,and then some.. This is a great read for anyone who ever wondered about this enigmatic couple.Ian's last two books gave his side of this story,but including Sylvia's input this book gets both sides.Perhaps if a lot of us old folkies buy this book someone will notice and release a live CD worth listening to.The Newport CD was too little,and didn't show them as well as it should.In the book Ian says he was drunk for the 1965 Newport,might explain the sloppy guitar work.The only live show I know of is the 1986 reunion TV special,I have that and it's great.Again in the book ,Ian wasn't into .
