...whenever I played in clubs - which I did only on occasion - I did that one.

Shortly before she broke up with me, one of my girlfriends when I was a kid, made a very witty remark as we went down to the beach and there were about 20 guys with guitars on it. She said, "Look at all the Bob Dylans on the beach." She was, of course, making fun of me, since I was always learning and singing Bob Dylan songs. She was, rightly, fed up with me, given who I was, one of those Dylan freaks of that era.

The other song from that album that I played in that same open tuning was "She Belongs to Me." That's where I learned to go wild with that tuning.
