Dylan phoned that night and asked, "Can you make up words like that anytime?" and came over Lower East Side apartment, picked up a guitar, played various blues chords and latin rhythms & I sat on edge of bed and tongued syllables & sentences rhymed fast as I could to "I'm going down to Puerto Rico." So Dylan pleased by this proficiency said "Why don't we go into a studio and record?" The first songs in this book are products of those sessions. -- pg. ii-iii.
