I'm tempted to change the genre of the album to 'folk' from 'folk rock'. Anybody who's listened to the album would know there are no rock numbers in it. Any objections? HWelles 04:02, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I would say that it is most definitely not folk-rock, and that changing it to that wouldn't be appropriate. Also, Dylan himself said that he did not ever play folk-rock, although most people agree that he created the genre. Ruckyou 02:55, 24 November 2005 (UTC)


I see this has been done, and it's now folk. I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to WP (and music), so I don't want to change it myself, but someone may wish to change it to folk/blues. Nothing sounds strictly bluesy, but the influence seems to be strong. Compare to, say, Joan Baez for the difference between this album and a more conventional folk sound. There is a lot more to Dylan's sound from this period than just folk. 203.129.128.114 21:58, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Zantzinger's father, Richard C. Zantzinger, was indeed a member of the House of Delegates - a much closer connection than his grandfather. http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/speccol/sc2600/sc2685/house/html/pghouse.html


it is unclear what the numbers 20 and 4 refer to in the introduction.
