Okay, so you refused to respond to my post below regarding the Harry Smith anthology & the Minstrel To Mojo sets, preferring instead to focus on a different point I made in the post. You said Dylan couldn't carry a tune, which makes one wonder if you've ever actually listened to his records. If you have any familiarity with the material that inspired Dylan, and have heard, say, Blood On The Tracks, I don't see how it's possible that anyone could say such a thing. Unless they are hopelessly ignorant of the topic, that is.So, have you heard those records, or not? And you actually believe yr statement that Dylan couldn't carry a tune is musically defensible?
