Oh, and Don, that bluegrass version of "Man of Constant Sorrow" has been kicking around quite a while. It belongs to Ralph and Carter Stanley, or maybe just Ralph. All "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" did was bring it to the attention of those of us who don't listen to bluegrass.

How much of our bias about a song's changes is based on which version we heard first?

Blessings,
