Thank you for the explanation. My desire to learn about folk stems from my homage of Dylan. It's fasinating to hear different versions or interpretations of classic songs. I'm starting to see these types of "zipper" verses in his music, from Doc Watson and so on.

But I have to stand up for The Bob a bit. True, he has on his last 2 albums (World Gone Wrong & good as I Been To You) done folk songs handed down, he has only considered himself the arranger. But it's some fans on the Web and even the Highway 61 CD-Rom who print out lyrics from these albums that consider him the lyricist, which is obviously wrong!!!

What can I say, the man is infallible!!!
