In 2016 the Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Bob Dylan. He was the first folk singer to to win the award. Mr. Dylan did not bother to travel to Stockholm at the Nobel ceremony, however he recorded his Nobel Prize Lecture in 2017.

In his lecture Dylan discusses (his way) Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front and quotes some verses from a song, You Ain't Talkin' to Me, attributed to Charlie Poole.

However there is a problem. The quote was not by Charlie Poole: the verses were actually written many years later by Jim Krause and recorded The Alferd Packer Memorial String Band in 1985.

Our website was one of the two (together with Mudcat) having the lyrics of the song. Today, thanks to The Alferd Packer Memorial String Band and to Jim Krause we can publish the complete lyrics of the song and a link for listening.
