Dan Bern (Part 1 of 2: Biographies and Apocrypha)

In the first part of a two-episode conversation with Dan Bern, we get into early days, the lure of the vanishing act and the power of vulnerability, about north stars and big moments, and what to do about following them — both the north stars and the big moments. I offer a (partial) biography of the artist. We talk about time.
