The Starbugs – Mr Tambourine Man
An evening pause: Sung by Jessie Hillel, Sarah Whitaker, Roisin Anderson, Ben Anderson, Rebecca Jenkins. From the youtube page: “We have re-pitched this captivating selection of favourites to suit children’s voices.”
Truly one of Bob Dylan’s most beautiful and poetic songs.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News
Written by Jerry Jeff Walker.
IMO, Creepy Kids.
Jerry Jeff Walker did not Mr. Tambourine Man. Bob Dylan did.
Tom,
Everything I have cites Dylan as the author of Mr Tambourine Man. Perhaps you are thinking of Mr. Bojangles, which Jerry Jeff wrote?

I‘ve always liked the Byrds‘ version.
You are correct. My mistake.
IIRC, the Byrds cut their version before Dylan released his,
(Yes, I was right. “The Byrds version is based on Bob Dylan’s demo of the song that he recorded during sessions for his 1964 album Another Side of Bob Dylan (Dylan’s version was not yet released when The Byrds recorded it))
but had to hold up on their release due to technicalities in how licensing works.
It’s called “Mechanical License” and it states that once you release a song, anyone is entitled to perform it as long as they pay the statutory licensing fee.
“The song must have already been recorded and distributed by the copyright owner. Another way this is stated is that the copyright owner gets “first use” of their creation. Note that the copyright owner has to be the one who recorded it; if someone else steals their work and records it, that doesn’t qualify as “previously recorded.” Also, recording it is not enough. The copyright owner has to have made it available for public consumption.”
