My nieces had made inspired and very pertinent choices of music. The Byrds - Turn, turn, turn (I have it on 45)(and a player): Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven (found it on tape down the road), and Bob Dylan - Forever Young. I've found there are several versions, and I'm going to have to order it on tape. Does anyone have any thoughts on the best version to go for? I can't tell from the samples on web-sites. They had Auden's "Stop all the Clocks" too. All was very moving. Penny |

I usually prefer the slower version - but then it really depends on my mood. Anyway - buying Planet Waves would give you 'two for the price of one'. (I would tape it for you, but I don't have a tape-to-tape. I've just spent all my disposable income on a computer!) Good luck Catrin |

It's one of my favourite Dylan records, though I know some peope dopn't like. It was recorded in the run I believe - the just went in and recorded in one extended session, and if that's true it explains the unity of feel its got. |

I also like the Baez recording. If you go to a place like CDNOW (click) or Amazon (click), you'll find all sorts of recordings of the song. Just make sure you have "song title" selected in the search box. -Joe Offer- |

And Forever Young is on there. But some would probably say I'm irrationally prejudiced. ....if they can't take a joke. Peter. |
