Dylan in the Berkshires

It is with joy and sadness that we gave Bob Dylan and his band a standing ovation after the final song tonight in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. While the band will go on to other towns across America, our Bob Dylan Tour is over. We return home to PEI tomorrow.

To protest the bland drives along the Interstate, we drove small local roads from Mystic, CT this morning to Pittsfield, MA. By the direct route it takes 2.5 hours: however, it took us all day to drive through river valleys, gorges and up into the Berkshires. We followed a mountain stream for almost an hour in a pretty, dreamlike drive. I was slightly disappointed that the Berkshires didn’t look dreamlike on account of the frosting – eh? James Taylor, what gives?

Norwich is Awesome

Just got out of the Norwich, CT concert of Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. Wow – it was the best yet. We gut stuck in traffic from Lancaster, PA to Norwich, CT. We arrived in the middle of Willie’s set. It seemed flat but picked up before he quit,

The Bob Dylan Vacation

While I have been a Bob Dylan aficionado since 1963, I never thought of myself as a fan. So I know the words to 500 plus Bob Dylan songs and the chords for half as many – everyone has to learn some music. I also know a Trini Lopez tune or two. So I play harmonica with a rack, practicing in front of the dining room mirror when I was 13. So my late blooming performance repertoire contains tunes by the Bobster and my friends say I have a perfect voice – for Bob Dylan songs. They usually add…we mean that as a compliment.
