right. I loved Dylan's St. Augustine, and was surprised to find Phil Ochs on Bragg's Internationale and did some looking. Was looking around some more on Wikipedia tonight, and here it is.

1915, Joe Hill was killed in Salt Lake city, leaving a poetic and inspiring will

Woody Guthrie wrote the Ballard of Tom Joad, about a Joe Hill type figure [Tom Joad was a characted from the book "the grapes of wrath" who Guthrie had a great affinity with]

Alfred Hayes wrote the first I dreamed I saw lyric in 1925 about Joe Hill

Phil Ochs wrote his version of I dreamed I saw Joe Hill in the 60's, I think. It was to the tune of Guthrie's Tom Joad

in 67 Dylan did a split album with John Wesley Harding, and the song I dreamed I saw St. Augustine was on it. Dylan was a friend of Phil Ochs and a fan of Woody Guthrie

in 1990 Billy Bragg re-wrote the Alfred Hayes song about Joe Hill to be about Phill Ochs.

That, to my knowledge is the outline of the I Dreamed I Saw... songs


Interesting, it's been a year exactly since my last journal. I've been mainly using DA as a place to post my good photos.
