I'm sorry, Seth. Unfortunately for posterity, I was participating in the QA for 
the delivery, so all I remember is that it was significant that the album was 
called "Before the Flood", and it was critical that we start listening, side 4 
first. It's still my favorite side. And I have an indelible picture in my mind 
of the four of us, one in the corner shuckling over the Talmud.

But I may as well use this as an opportunity to plug Larry Yudelson's wonderful 
Dylan/"Tangled up in Jews" pages, http://www.radiohazak.com/Dylan.html .
