ANNOTATION
Source/Precedents
First Bob Dylan instrumental recording, although it has some resemblance to the previously recorded Track x Cough Song BOOTLEG SERIES 2  (1963?). 
Comments
1. Another  instrmental recording Track x Boogie Woogie was produced on the following release,  SELFPORTRAIT (1970).
2. SELFPORTRAIT (1970)  also inclues a semi- instrmental recording -   Track x Wigwam with a simple La-la vocal by Bob Dylan.
3. Further instrmental recordings where produced on the film soundtack, PAT GARRET AND BILLY THE KID (1973?)  Tracks 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8.
4.  Track 6 Turkey Chase  PAT GARRET AND BILLY THE KID (1973?) is the closest in spirit to Nashville Skyline Rag.
