But do we need to know the original to appreciate a cover? Or even be aware that a song we know well is a cover to begin with? Listeners unfamiliar with Nine Inch Nails might believe that Johnny Cash’s “Pain” is originally theirs. Similar assumptions have no doubt been made about Jimi Hendrix’s “All Along the Watchtower,” which is actually a Bob Dylan tune. Many other artists have also covered “All Along the Watchtower.”

If a song is repeatedly covered, it could be a sign of its artistic strength. As American literature and culture professor Russell Reising writes, “There is clearly something in Dylan’s original that not only continues to inspire artists, but resonates with the sociopolitical events of our culture.”

Even great originals can possess a degree of unrealized potential waiting to be discovered by the artists who cover them.

There she married again, to Dr. Johnstone, who free email address list philippines died in 1766.

I read with great interest your articles on John Loudon McAdam on your website and the associated links. I have long wanted to continue my research into the family as I have been told that John was my great-great ...

John McAdam had three sons who followed in his footsteps and who are well documented but there were also three daughters the eldest of whom Jane married a Gemmell in 1810. They had a large family of at least six sons and two daughters one of whom Euphemia Lennox Gemmel was born in 1811 and married a John Kennedy who I think was from Ayr or Sal. Their daughter in turn (I'm not sure how many of a family they had)
