How I spent my evening. I'm reading Mark Lanegan's tell-all autobiography "Sing Backwards and Weep." So I spent some time listening to Mark Lanegan's recordings, quite impressive actually, and he has a live version of a song called "Blues Run the Game." It turns out that was written by one Jackson C. Frank, who took a boat to England in the mid sixties and met many up and coming folk musicians including then expatriate Paul Simon and the members of Pentangle, a British Folk group (and one of my favorites), and it turns out Paul Simon and two members of Pentangle and the great Sandy Denny all recorded versions of Blues Run the Game. I listened to all of them. My favorite is the version Simon and Garfunkel did because of the high production values lavished on nearly everything they did. So if anyone I know asks me tomorrow what I did last night I will probably say, "Not much."
