   The two enjoyed themselves on "The Dylan Cash Sessions" bootleg...
   
   Compare Cash's opening lines with the last lines of Bob's liner notes for Eric von Schmidt's, "Who Knocked the Brains Out of the Sky?" 
   
   " Eric Von Schmidt  Of course, we had heard about Eric
   Von Schmidt for many years. The name itself had become
   a password. Eventually, after standing in line to meet him, there
   it was -- his doorstep, a rainy day, and he greeted his visitors,
   inviting them in. He was told how much they liked Grizzly Bear and he then
   invited the whole bunch to the club, where he was about to perform the
   thing live. "C'mon down to the club" he said -- "I'm about to perform it live".
   
   We accepted the invitation. And that is what his record is. An
   invitation. An invitation to the glad, mad, sad, biting, exciting, frightening,
   crabby, happy, enlightening, hugging, chugging world of Eric Von
   Schmidt. For here is a man who can sing the bird off the wire
   and the rubber off the tire. He can separate the men from the boys and
   the note from the noise. The bridle from the saddle and the cow from
   the cattle. He can play the tune of the moon. The why
   of the sky and the commotion from the ocean. Yes he can."

   Thanks for the comment -- I had never read those liner notes before... and you are right.   The last few lines in particular is very similar to Cash's words on Dylan.

   Thanks!
