Greenwood Publishing. p.50〕 According to Michael Bloomfield, who met Savakus at a Bob Dylan's session: “They had a bass player, a terrific guy, Russ Savakus. It was his first day playing electric bass, and he was scared of that. No one understood nothing.”〔Wolkin and Keenom, ''(Michael Bloomfield: If You Love These Blues, an oral history )'', Miller Freeman Books, San Francisco, 2000, p. 100〕 However, Dylan chose to replace Savakus on tour 〔(Dylan: a biography ) By Bob Spitz.
