... all played this song in their live sets (Source : documentary 'Donovan And The Beatles In India' (2018) made in happy union with the David Lynch Foundation) and all had to learn this song as a rite-of-passage, a song that's part of his own personal vinyl archive ... 'Hi-Heel Sneakers' (1964) which was written and recorded by Ohio bluesman Tommy Tucker.
'Hi-Heel Sneakers'
Donovan was always busy experimenting like Graham Nash and Tony Hicks with unusual guitar tunings and techniques, or dipping in to distortion effects like Ray Davies and Dave Davies. He's believed to have taught John Lennon a couple of things about a couple of things about chord progressions and finger-picking stylistics during time spent together in Rishikesh in northern India which is known as the "Gateway to the Garhwal Himalayas" (he says Paul McCartney picked up things by ear) ...

Donovan is convinced the whole world revolves around him and that he invented everything. Dylan's piss takes were cruel but deserved.

I watched Hannes Rossacher's documentary 'Sunshine Superman : The Journey Of Donovan' (2008) for the first time over Christmas. It uses a long interview with Donovan as its centrepiece. Really enjoyed it. Interesting feller, a natural storyteller.
