Please
note:
- DSN, the Dylan Session Number
is the same as KSN, the Krogsgaard Session
Number in [1]
and [2], but with an increment of 10, thus giving room for insertion of
newly discovered sessions. Note that DSN differs from KSN in that no
recording releases are included in DSN. The DSN also differs from KSN in
[3].
- The length of recording is
given in minutes and is of course only an indication. It is taken from my
tape or recording and may vary from other sources depending of tape speed,
inclusion of intermission etc. etc.

the BobTalk, listened for backup vocals and harmonica solos for years and is
absolutely unable to read a misspelled word. Thanks Jörgen!
