A New Book About Dylan: How the First Trip to St. Paul Changed Music.

New Year’s Journey and Music

According to The Sun: On Christmas 1956, a 15-year-old boy heads south, embarking on a five-hour Greyhound bus trip from his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota. Upon arriving in the state capital, St. Paul, he meets two friends from summer camp, and they head to a store on Fort Road called Terlinde Music.

The Group 'The Jokers'

The guys decide to perform under the name 'The Jokers' and begin their musical adventure that will change their lives.

“I have always loved music, and this was my first big step into the world of entertainment,” recalls the boy.

Musical Plans

In the store, they plan to purchase new instruments and find inspiration for creativity, as they already have a few song ideas.

This journey became a landmark for the boys, who were just at the beginning of their musical path. Over time, the group 'The Jokers' became popular, and their songs won the hearts of listeners. Thus began an era of innovative ideas and creative self-expression that defined their next stage in music.
