Thanks for clearing that up. I guess I was never a
*direct* fan of Mr. Zimmerman, even though I had quite
a few Bob Dylan songbooks and versions of his songs
sung by others (although there are many I can hear in
my head ONLY in his voice). I guess he was so
ingrained (after a while) into the spirit of that time
that it would be impossible *not* to be aware of him
directly or indirectly. I guess I took him for granted!
