What a heady moment for a young singer songwriter to have Dylan play one of your songs at an impromptu meeting in The Village.

Via rolling stone

“... The unexpected rendezvous, in summer of 1971, involved Kris Kristofferson and Carly Simon, who hosted Prine and songwriter Steve Goodman at her apartment. All of a sudden, there was a knock at the door and in walked Dylan, who was still mainly out of the public eye following his 1966 motorcycle crash.

“You could have sent a Martian down and that wouldn’t have surprised us as much as seeing Bob Dylan,” says Prine, who was further floored when Dylan began singing one of Prine’s own songs — off his yet unreleased debut album. “I’m going, ‘My god… I know all your songs, but how do you know mine?'”
