25 Jun 01 - 08:47 AM (#491277) Subject: Lyr Add: ISN'T THAT SO? (Jesse Winchester) From: MichaelM The link has words that are different from what Jesse sings (see below). I am very conscious of the words on this song since my demo tape almost got out the door with "his own son's got a reputation for PUTTING water into wine" (what became known as the Jesus invents the white wine spritzer version). I will capitalize the differences.
DidN'T he know what he was doing Michael |

I checked my lyrics against the recorded version and I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Can I be allowed to attribute this to the folk process? Nevertheless the Marc Cohn site above has a number of errors as well. Jesse Winchester's own site Click here has what he recorded with one error (he sings "you have to go where your heart says go").

From: Tedham Porterhouse I saw Jesse Winchester, for the first time in many years, last summer at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival. His evening concert was wonderful and he shared a songwriters' workshop with Tom Russell, Anne Hills and Steve Gillette that was one of the best workshops that I've ever been to. |

26 Jun 01 - 11:24 AM (#492217) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Jesse Winchester's 'Isn't That So?' From: Tedham Porterhouse Pinetop Slim, Mike Regenstrief from the CKUT folk show in Montreal was the host of the workshop and did a short interview with each of the songwriters about the inspiration and process of one of their best known songs. For Jesse Winchester, it was "The Brand New Tennessee Waltz." For Tom Russell, it was "Gallo Del Cielo." For Anne Hills, it was "Follow That Road" and for Steve Gillette, it was "Darcy Farrow." Each talked about the song with Mike and then sang it. After that, they went around the circle, each taking turns singing songs they'd written with Mike occasionally interjecting a question. |
