Given the breadth of his work and the many songs that have become standards, I would have expected more. That said,  US-$ 300,000,000 is a relaxing pension.

Will he now have to pay royalties when playing his songs on his "Neverending Tour" or is he exempt?  :mrgreen:

Yes, the Hollies song. Somehow, the chap on the left, whoever he was, looked uncomfortable playing it ...  8)



Waitaminnit, it was a Bee Gees number!



Oder vielleicht sie?

My favorite Dylan number is still this one - strange choice I know, but I can't help it, both the haunting melody and the lyrics gripped me when I first heard it in 1976. And they never let go. That wistful violin alone ...

The first recording -- before Dylan recorded it himself.

I bought the single when I was in high school, the song impressed me. The songwriter was listed as Dylan, I had no idea who he was until a few months later.

Gil Turner was the MC at Gerde's Folk City and was a booster of Dylan. The other members were Happy Traum (of Homespun Tapes), Bob Cohen, who later became a cantor, and on some recordings, Delores Dixon. She sang on their cover of Blowin' In The Wind.

Long forgotten by most today, if they ever even knew of the group.

I, for one, never heard that version.

However, in my much younger years I was given an EP with The Seekers performing the said song, which was my first introduction to it...
