Bob Dylan, in his 2004 memoir, “Chronicles: Volume One,” cited Mr. Paley as an important influence on his music. Mr. Paley also taught the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia and the young Ry Cooder some of the finer points of the acoustic guitar. Mr. Paley left the group four years later and started another trio, the Old Reliable String Band. Three years later, the couple, who later divorced, moved to London, where Mr. Paley also taught math. While in Europe Mr. Paley formed the New Deal String Band and played with it, on and off, for decades.
