HIBBING – Pondering Bob Dylan’s beginnings isn’t out of the ordinary for dedicated fans. People flock to Hibbing just to see the house he grew up in, meet the people he knew and admired, and walk on the stage where the young Robert Zimmerman first performed. Ric Kangas, a high school buddy of Dylan’s, witnessed that music too while sitting in the bedroom of his childhood home playing along on the guitar with Dylan back in 1959. Today Kangas still has a recording with four songs where Dylan is heard either on guitar or vocal. Kangas is now selling the tape through Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas, Texas. During an auction on Oct. 6 and 7, the tape will go up for bid along with some 20 other Dylan items and music and movie memorabilia from stars like Elvis Presley and James Dean.
On May 1, 1958 he would still have been 17.
