Nah, the Zimster plays guitar.
by BobW

Seeger plays lots of instruments but usually appears picking away on old his 5 string banjo. His pose in Rye's picture is very typical of Woody Guthrie: Head back, throat stretched out, voice reaching the back rows. Woody always a western style hat and played a beat up guitar.

Dylan in the early 60's appeared in the clothes he had slept in for a week. His voice was terrible and hasn't improved. His guitar skills were minimal and slow to improve. His songwriting, like Guthrie's and Seeger's, spoke to and for a generation.

Great photo of a great performer. Looks like the two sailors are singing along and checking out the chicks.
