GUEST,LynnH Sandman and Discussion of Dylan Songs (106* d) RE: Sandman and Discussion of Dylan Songs 23 Jan 21


'Wiggle Wiggle' - didn't Woody Guthrie have a penchant for similar songs?

Years and years ago I learned 'The Ballad of Donald White' from a book of Dylan's song texts. No tunes. So I made my own tune and,in the course of the years,I've sung it in various folk-clubs. Years later I stumbled across a certain Broadside Record with 'Blind Boy Grunt's' rendition of the song. Oh dear,'Tramps and Hawkers'! Sorry Bob but it doesn't work for me so I'll keep using my own tune!
I also sing 'Eternal Circle', which I learned from the dots in 'Bob Dylan's songs for Harmonica'. Somewhere along the line I've changed a few notes but hey,that's the folk process!
