      Four of these songs (Nos. 3, 12, 17, 23) were written by Bob Dylan, my favorite being Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (#17). Three (Nos. 1, 18 and 28) are by McCartney and Lennon of the Beatles, with In My Life (#1) at the top of my list. Three tunes (Nos. 4, 15 and 30) are by Paul Simon who, with Art Garfunkel, formed my favorite performance group of the decade So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright (#30) really gets to me . Other tunes I'm especially drawn to are the title song, Joni Michell's Both Sides Now (#5) (long identified with Judy Collins) the title denoting the other side of my musical personality that this collection represents; James Taylor's Sunny Skies (#6), Gordon Lightfoot's Early Morning Rain (#14), Randy Newman's I Think It's Gonna Rain Today (#8), Leonard Cohen's Sisters of Mercy (#2), Graham Nash's Marrakesh Express (#26), and Tom Paxton'sThe Last Thing On My Mind (#31), which I often play on harmonica, with my musician son Tom on guitar and vocal, late at night when we're together.
