Fwd: Los Bilbilicos & Swallow Song

[Joel Bresler <jbresler...>]

Dear friends:

There is a discussion on mudcat.org that references our own discussion of 
this song. But also some tasty new information. Who would have thought that 
Bob Dylan had played harmonica on a recording of a Sephardic song!!!

Best,

J

>Anyhow, if you could stop by and tell us what you know about "Los
