Tony,

you are nuts...

But I think, it's not a bad idea to have a backup available. Somehow I managed to ruin my "Harmony" CD. 'Shellfish' is skipping, either because I actually wore it out... or, more likely, from abuse in my car. I have the bad habit for fumbling the CD's out of the cases while driving, but of course don't manage to put the old one back in immediately. So they end up as a stack in the middle console for quite a while. It's not doing them any good...So now I have to buy a new one but maybe should just make a copy from it to abuse it in my car...

I have to listen again to Dylans version of "Ring them Bells", maybe it was the live version what I didn't like too much. His voice sounds just gruffy and it was recorded a couple of years ago. I saw him in fall 2006 here in the Twin Cities and he more or less just shouted the words into the mic. Don't get me wrong, I really do like Dylan but even with Gord's voice not being the same as it used to be - he still sounds way better than Dylan.
