So much of what we did in the 60's seems to stem back to what Josh White did in the 1940's. SJI was one of the first tunes that I and my friends cut our teeth on as guitar pickers. That Am to E change is just so easy and constitutes half the song.

I presume Donovan was just a few months ahead of us. he wrote a song called Cutting Out on his first album , which seemed greatly familiar to us.
