Today's Morning Edition music is from 50 years ago Tuesday, when Bob Dylan returned to the studio to continue work on his new song "Like a Rolling Stone." 

On this day a new musician was on hand, a friend of producer Tom Wilson named Al Kooper. 

Kooper more or less sneaked into the session and added an organ part even though he was really a guitar player. 

He talked about the experience in the documentary "No Direction Home."
