As I wrote on Thursday, Roger McGuinn was a surprise guest at Wednesday night’s concert with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, where they played “Turn, Turn, Turn” and “Mr. Tambourine Man” to a stunned audience, of which I was part. Jim Abbott of the Orlando Sentinel now reports how the historic moment came to pass: Steve van Zandt sent an email to McGuinn on Wednesday morning saying the E Street Band was in town would he come hang out. They sent a car to pick him up, and later that day we all got to hear something very special. Totally spontaneous.
