    I am a pilgrim and a stranger Traveling through this wearisome land And I’ve got a home in that yonder city, good Lord And it’s not (good Lordy it’s not) not made by hand I got a mother, a sister and a brother Who have gone to that sweet home And I am determined to go and see them, good Lord Over on (good Lordy over on) that distant shore As I go down to that river Jordan Just to bathe my weary soul If I could touch but just the hem of His garment, good Lord I believe (good Lordy I believe) that it would make me whole Now when I’m dead, laying in my coffin All of my friends all gather round They can say that he’s just laying there sleeping, good Lord Sweet peace (Lordy sweet peace) his soul is found

    • @Jonpriley
      @Jonpriley 29 днів тому

      Yes, the song is Wagoner's Lad. The same melody was used for the Scots whaling song Farewell to Tarwathie, again before Dylan's song. Alex Campbell's version - ua-cam.com/video/oI-L4aHlADk/v-deo.html - is very close to Dylan's treatment, and he could well have heard Alex sing it in London in the early 60s. Covered by Judy Collins among others.

    She does not apologize because she is not guilty. Adoption records were frequently falsified on both Boston and elsewhere in the US. It takes a court order to open them . False birth certificates were common and replaced the names of birth parents with those of adoptive parents, one or both.

    Never saw this dance flavored episode before! I wonder whether Pete ever included squaredancers, New England contradancers or Appalachian flatfooters on the program? Brother Mike Seeger and dance-ethnographer Ruth Pershing did their "Talking Feet" flatfooting & clogging documentary more than a decade later... now at Smithsonian folkways.

    I was so fortunate to meet both Mimi and Richard when they came over to Cynthia Williams home right after their (1965) concert at Big Sur. Richard was kind enough to let me hold and play his dulcimer, but it was Mimi who held everyone's attention. She was just lovely, positively glowing. It was clear how happy and in love she was. To my young self she seemed like an angel. And those around her basked in her glow. That is how I'll always remember that remarkable young woman. I talked with Pete years later at Clearwater about her, and that is how he said he remembered her as well. Rest In Peace Mimi, R.I.P. Richard and R.I.P. Pete. We wish you all could have stayed with us longer.

      Thank you so much for sharing your remembrance of one of the great couples of our time. Richard’s talent is obvious but Mimi’s is more subtle but just as important. Their attraction to each other is evident in their performances. Mimi’s guitar accompaniment speaks for itself and the smiles say so much about their love for each othe😮r. Mimi would carry on a few solo albums and one with Tom Jan’s titled “Take Heart” that is definitely worth a listen. She also was a big part of the Bread and Roses Festival before her unfortunate passing.
