Dylan first recorded "Farewell" on February 8, 1963, along with 11 other songs, during a session that for many years was believed to have taken place in the basement of either Gerde's Folk City or the Gaslight Cafe, Greenwich Village venues where Dylan performed during the early 1960s [REF].
A month after the session with Traum, Dylan recorded the song as a demo for his music publisher M. Witmark & Sons [REF].
