Notes

An absolute classic Bob Dylan song, where my favorite version is sung by someone else. Peter Paul and Mary do a version where Peter introduces the song with:

"This song asks 9 questions. We feel that the answers to these questions could determine what happens to all of us in this generation. When we sing this song we ask the questions, and we ask you please to do the same."

Peter has somewhat understated the impact of this song, as it spans all generations. Blowin' In The Wind continues to be sung at folk concerts but also around campfires and in living rooms with amateur guitar players that can strum out 3 chords.
