I remember back in the early 70s, on a roof doing HVAC work, a coworker began singing Early Morning Rain. I said, "ah, Gordon Lightfoot!" He said, "NO, Bob Dylan of course. Don't you know anything?" I said, "Um, no, that's a Gordon Lightfoot song. Trust me on this."

I finally convinced him that Gord wrote it. And that's how I found out that Dylan covered it. We both learned something.
