Bearcat, curious why you don't think this is a folk album. With an entire album based on the lyrics of Woody Guthrie, isn't that justification enough? Thoughts? -- Dave C. 04:40, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)


I wanted to add something to the "Mermaid Avenue" page, but I don't know the correct manner. I just wanted to add to it that in "Chronicles: Volume One" Bob Dylan writes that Woody told him about the song lyrics, he went to the house but Woody's wife wasn't around. The child that was there looked at him suspiciously and Dylan got uncomfortable and ran off. Now that I think about it I'm not exactly certain if it was the wife who wasn't there or Woody's kid that looked at him funny, so best I didn't just half-ass it up onto the site. I thought some mention might be nice, though. (Posted by 208.196.60.32 to User_talk:Cmdrjameson)
