Six years ago, by pure chance, I crossed paths with Donovan at Boston's Logan Airport. There he was, unrecognized by everyone except me. In total surprise I called out his name, "Donovan Leitch!" and he extended his hand to me, a total stranger. We shook, and had a truly wonderful exchange. Donovan assured me he was planning a Boston concert appearance, and two years later I was in the front row.

There is a Facebook group 'Real Autograph Collector's Club' that someone associated with Donovan is aware of. Donovan has a special offer for members this month for any RACC member that buys a signed item from him through his website. He will sign and personalize LPs, CDs, etc. from the site. A friend of mine just received a really nice item directly from him in Ireland from the site. He even signed the customs form!

Yes he is very underrated as a songwriter, but he seems to have been very underrated as a serious artist in general back in the 60s. He was dismissed - at least to an extent - as a Dylan for teenyboppers; that definition is pretty far from his actual work.

Having met Donovan briefly, in an impromptu way, I can confirm his absolute sincerity. The eternal Hippie, he was insistent on wanting to know everything he could find out about me.

I tried to use the live versions if they rivaled or bettered the released recordings.

I first heard Donovan's music in 1966. Been a fan ever since!

@8:00 cometothesunshine: probably, and you have offered some ear candy for old fans - gotta check the first hour from the archives.
This natural and super sincere quality is what makes his music beautiful and timeless.

BBC Folk makes sense, considering the source for American Folk came from the British Isles.

PaulRobeson1920:

Donovan 19 years old in that interview! Same as the average age of the American Solider in Vietnam. 19 years old
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:22pm
PaulRobeson1920:

WWII average age was 26. For reference
