zander (inactive) Dylan's use of Trad music? (101* d) RE: Dylan's use of Trad music? 18 May 00


There is nothing wrong in borrowing tunes or song ideas, this has always happened in folk music either accidently or on purpose it is called the folk process, but when someone knows the origin it is only polite to give credit where it is due. Bob Dylan sometimes did this but not always, Paul Simon was a worse culprit, IE. Scarborough Fair. Best regards to all, Dave
