BOB DYLAN

"Pretty Saro"

The Bob Dylan website posts some odd selections of Bobby songs especially lately and some 17 hours ago posted pictures of the album covers from whence these tracks came but it seems strange to me that he would authorise the site to just post 'The Man In Me' and 'Blowin' In The Wind' all marked with bracketed (audio) and I don't really get why . . . . . . . not a complaint but these are tracks we all have (obviously) and there is nothing especially striking in sharing the album versions . . . . . go figure as the Americans would say
 . . . . .so one of the last video/audio songs I enjoyed is this song that is credited as being an "English folk song" which Bob sang about 6 times or so but it wasn't until the Bootleg series we heard an official version

Here is a favourite haunting love song 'Pretty Saro' . . . . . love this. reflects my mood this morning here on a damp Saturday morning
