Oscar Brand

November 4th, Saturday Bob Dylan will be singing at the Carnagie Chapter Hall. And that should be a very special occasion. Bob was born in Duluth, Minnesota. But Bob you weren't raised in Duluth were you ?

Bob Dylan

I was raised in Gallup, New Mexico.

Oscar Brand

Do you get many songs there ?

Bob Dylan

You get a lot of cowboy songs there. Indian songs. That vaudeville kind of stuff.

Oscar Brand

Where'd you get your carnival songs from ?

Bob Dylan

Uh, people in the carnival.

Oscar Brand

Do you travel with it or watch the carnival ?

Bob Dylan

Travel the carnival when I was about 13 years old.

Oscar Brand

For how long ?

Bob Dylan

All the way up till I was 19 every year off an on I'd join different carnivals.

Oscar Brand

Well I'd like to hear one of the kinds of music that you've been singing and I know you've been doing quite well, and I know you'll be singing at the Carnagie Chapter Hall. Do you wanna pick something out ?

Bob Dylan

Well I'll pick a carnival song that I learnt. Wrote. Do you wanna hear one of them ? <plays Sally Gal>

Oscar Brand

Thank you Bob Dylan for Sally Gal and we'll expect you back tonight before the end of the tonight's Folk Song Festival.

I'm Oscar Brand and I'm here on WNYC New York. Now lets return to our guest this evening. His name is Bob Dylan and on November 4th he will be at Carnegie Chapter Hall in a very exciting concerts of songs that he's collected since his first days. When he was born in Minnesota, and then he went down to the south west. He traveled around the country with carnivals and as we heard earlier he's collected a lot of many songs from many people Bob I know that that means when you travel that much that you hear a lot of songs. But doesn't it also means, mean that you forget a lot of songs that way?

Bob Dylan

Oh yeah. I learned, forgot quite a few I guess. An once I forgot 'em I usually heard the name of them. I looked 'em up in some book and learned 'em again.

Oscar Brand

Can you read music?

Bob Dylan

No I can't. But this here song's a good example. I learned it from a farmer in South Dakota. An err he played the autoharp. His name was Wilbur, live outside of Sioux Falls, when I was visiting people and him. Heard him do it an …., I was looking through a book sometime saw the same song and remembered the way he did it. So this is the song. <plays The Girl I Left Behind>

Oscar Brand

Thank you very much Bob Dylan. And the very best of luck on your concert November 4th at Carnagie Chapter Hall. In which I know as your audience realises there'll be a lot of exciting material, new and beautifully presented. And thanks very much Israel Young for bringing Bob down and for sponsoring the concert he's gonna have too.

Thank you. Kind of got lost coming up here tonight. Took a subway. Got off somewhere on 156th Street started walking back. I got hung up in a Cadillac store an …, So I'm not here on time. Almost run over by a bus, so I took another subway. On to 34th street an I walked up here. Come pretty prepared tonight I got a list on my guitar. This is a new list. I used to have one on my guitar about a month ago, that was no good. Figured I'd get a good list. So I went around an put the list on first. Then I went around to other guitar players an I sort of looked at their list, copied down songs on mine. Some of these I don't know so good. Well. Let's see here. Here's a (need to leave the stage (off mike)) that's fine. Here I go. This is story about a little girl running all over, finding out about life. She's going out at night coming home keeping late hours. Finding out just what makes up life, 11 years old. (before Pretty Peggy-O)

 

First came here. I used to spend a lot of time with Woody Guthrie. February last February. This is one of Woodys songs. I'll sing a couple more. This is one, one of a group of two. (before 1913 Massacre).

 

Thanks. Here's a song I guess just about everybody knows. Leadbelly used to sing this. (before Backwater Blues).

 

Here's a …, here's a. I must admit before I came I learned plenty folk songs in New York. I learned about, … well since I been here now since …, February, last February. I've learned about oh, 4 or 5 new songs I never heard about before. An one I never heard about was this one. There's this Irishman. Lian, … Liam Clancy. Sings this one. Err, This is err a straight copy. Straight imitation. I don't imitate the voice much, I can't get that accent quite good enough. This is an Irish one though. Very sad song. Maybe this the American version of the Irish version of Liam Clancys version. Heard Liam sing this in the Whitehorse Bar, Irish bar. (before A Long Time A-Growing).
