A real long time ago maybe 1980 or early 1981 I met Joel Bernstein. He's originally from a suburb just outside of town and this friend of mine knew him.  He's a photographer, but also a guitar roadie.  Anyway he worked with Bob Dylan on the 2nd Rolling Thunder tour, took the photo on the back of Hard Rain (I'm pretty sure that's the one) and also worked with Bob in '78, being pretty much his all around assistant.  On the tours he was official photographer and guitar roadie, Bernstein also did a lot of photography for Neil Young and CSN as well.  I met him 'cause this friend called me and Bernstein was over at my friend's parent's house and he had this tape of a new Dylan song.  I had to borrow a car to go, but went.
