Subject: Jayhawks setlist corrections
Hello,
In the interest of complete accuracy there are a couple of errors on
the Jayhawks artwork. Jan 15th, the first song is "Settled Down
Like Rain" off of Hollywood Town Hall, not Jane (corrected on the
version on HarryO's web site). On Jan 16th, the 10th track, "Lost
My Driving Wheel" is by David Wiffin. See below for the details.

<<< FYI, I noticed that "Lost My Driving Wheel" is
attributed to Roger McGuinn on the artwork of the Jayhawks show. This
is a common mistake, and an issue that always gets discussed/argued
over on the Jayhawks mailing list. McGuinn's (and the Byrds) version
is the most well known, and is the version the Jayhawks learned the
song from. I believe the All Music guide even lists McGuinn as the author
of the song.
However, the song was written by Canadian singer/songwriter David
Wiffen. It's on his out of print debut and also a rerecorded version
appears on an album released a couple years back. There was a nice little
article on him in "No Depression" about a year ago, and Gary
himself has introduced the song in concert as being by Wiffen. The Cowboy
Junkies have released live and studio versions of the song also, correctly
listing Wiffen as the author of the song. One of my favorite songs the
Jayhawks cover in concert. >>>
Take care and enjoy the music,
Paul
