When I wrote this in 2010 I had that detail (songs recorded in one take) from something I read, but have since wondered if I were mistaken. Perhaps it seemed more impressive than reality because it wasn't. It's my understanding now that it was one night in the studio, which was impressive enough considering the swath of tracks laid down.

In his youth my brother was engaged for a time to her<br />her younger sister Becky. Last time I saw her, maybe 10 or 15 years ago, Mona, still beautiful, still very shy, told me she and Dylan remain friendly. Mona's late father, a railroad man and a hard drinker, is referenced obliquely in Dylan's quote from a traditional folk song in "Memphis." <br /><br />Jerry Clark<br /><br />Jerome Clarknoreply@blogger.com
