“Having spent many weekends in his final high school year visiting the
city, Zimmerman knew a small coterie of Hibbing-Duluth Jews, some of
whom were also freshmen at UMinn, including Larry Keegan, one of his
longest-standing friends.”
Heylin, Behind the Shades, p. 32.
“October 19, Holiday Star Theater, Merriville, IN. . . . For the last
encore, ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ is replaced by Chuck Berry’s ‘No
Money Down,’ sung by Dylan’s wheelchair-bound friend Larry Keegan.
Dylan plays saxophone alongside Keegan.”
Heylin, A Life in Stolen Moments, p.234.
Kegan was a good singer and Bob got him up on stage in Merrillville,
Indiana, on October 19 [1981] to sing an encore of “no money down.”
Bob produced a saxophone – an instrument he had never been known to
play in public – and barped into it a few times, bluffing that the could
play, while Larry Kegan sang. The segment with Kegan went so well that
the friends repeated their performance the next night at the Boston
Orpheum Theater, Kegan coming on stage both nights in his wheelchair.
Sounes, Down the Highway, p.349
Died Sept 11, 2001 of a heart attack while driving his van. A close
friend of Bob Dylan since their adolescence, Larry had been confined
to a wheelchair since he was paralyzed in a swimming accident at age 17.
