This is from 1962 and the album Bob Dylan. Amazing how long ago that was!

I think this was the first Dylan LP I ever bought - you're right, it sure does take a body back!! I think this was my first serious intro to knowing who Woody was, too. Great song.

Yes it seems like just yesterday.
Amazing how when occupied with todays "things" time seems to slip by and before we know it, "it was a long time ago"
Great tune Kat.
Thanks, Morpfy
I know it was only yesterday when I was young so who is that gray haired lady in the mirror?
Thank you too, Deb
I know it was my first Dylan. After hearing it, I was hooked.
Ralph Gleason has a sheet of yellow ruled legal paper and on it, in Dylan's tight but somewhat sloppy handwriting is "A Song to Woody." At the bottom of this copy he wrote:
"Written by Bob Dylan in Mills Bar on Bleeker [sic] Street in New York City on the 14th day of February, for Woody Guthrie."
Kevin Krown clearly remembers that Dylan had written the song while he was in Chicago, a couple of months before this. It's possible Krown is mistaken. It is also possible that this was another minor Dylan deception, trying to leave the impression he had written it only after getting to know Woody. A little later, after he met Joan Baez sometime in March or April, friends remember him saying:
"Joanie wants to sing my 'Song to Woody.' But I ain't gonna let her. Don't like her. Don't want her to do any song about Woody because she don't know Woody."
and he can still sing it...

sblake,
Funny Joan Baez comment!
I think his voice still retains its peculiar sound despite Bob's aging. I still love him.
