Women Who Inspire
serious crayons:
Interesting piece, Paul, thanks for posting.
I had a question about this, though:
--- Quote ---"The first thing that turned me on to folk singing was Odetta," Bob Dylan once said, and listening to that Tradition album helped persuade the young rocker to switch from electric to acoustic guitar.
--- End quote ---
Dylan is most famous for switching from acoustic to electric, at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. So did he go from very early electric to acoustic, inspired by Odetta, then back to electric again in '65 (which doesn't seem likely, because I think he played acoustic from the get-go) or did he go from acoustic to electric to acoustic again at some later date (but the article makes it sound like he was young when he did it), or is it a misprint?Could it have meant that Odetta's album inspired him to go from acoustic to electric, though that seems unlikely too?
Or am I missing something?

It could have been really fascinating.
Unfortunately, like most of my ideas, it never come to pass.

So, why don't you do it now? Sounds interesting.

Good catch, Eagle Eye.
Dylan goes electric - Maggie's Farm

We can include this in the thread, because Maggie was a woman who inspired the song. :)
