It also confirms my impression that there's most likely not a Lee Hoffman in the movie. She's in the book, and I was wondering what with the crashing on people's sofas and such. I'll likely be prone to seeing her in any female characters in the background, and will totally plotz with glee if there's a female publishing a Caravan or Gardyloo equivalent. But my enjoyment of the movie, or my anticipation of it, doesn't depend on whether or not LeeH is present or alluded to in it. She was there real thing.
I'd see van Ronk infrequently, at the Winnipeg Folk Festival or his GoH stint at Minicon. But he's my favorite male vocalist (vs. male singer) and I wish more of his records were on CD. Admittedly, it's been a while since I checked.
I had to stop reading the article due to potential spoilers. I know some of his history on Greenwich Village. One of my favorite panels at Minicon was "Greenwich Village Memories" with Jane Yolen, Dave van Ronk, and me. It was my best job as panel moderator. I turned to Jane and prompted, "So tell me about Greenwich Village" and didn't say another word for 45 minutes as she, then Dave, told story after story.

The movie better be good.
