    Great start, Brian - are you including DRM? I think Diamond Joe was not written by Dylan, first recorded probably by Cisco Houston in 1952 (the song with these lyrics).

    After I post the other songs I've got listed at home (I'm @ work), I'll note which ones are strictly DRM.

    I thought Ben Dewberry was a Jimmie Rodgers song that they learned for his induction into the Hall of Fame?

    According to mudcat.org, a traditional American music website, the song was written by a gentleman named Andrew Jenkins and recorded by Jimmie Rodgers. Any additional or contradictory information would be appreciated.

    John Hartford

    Turn Your Radio On

     

     

    Ruby Ridge.

    I'm not sure who the artist is on that one.

     

    Do the Esquires count?

    Because they're exclusively a cover band and haven't played in a wee bit (when WAS the last time they performed?), I believe they should have a separate list.

    All but one or two. Some are less than stellar audience recordings though.

    There's a song entitled Ruby Ridge by Peter Rowan and one by Johnny Philko. If you can send me a snippt of the lyrics, I'll let you know which one it is.

    It appears that DRM comes in 2 different flavors: (A) With Ketcham Secor, Morgan Jahning, Willie Watson and Gillian. (B) With just Gillian. When I saw DRM for the first time (3/25/09 The Rio, Santa Cruz), it was just the 2 of them.

    We're trying to lean more towards songs in which she plays a more integral part in the mix, lead or part of a trio. I purposely left off songs where she's contributed backing vocals.
