    As soon as I had heard of him, I heard him. As soon as I heard him he was gone.
    Ships passing in the night become all the more heart-felt, if one of them is sinking beyond our means to help.

    Two blues men, one love.

    Check out BB, his finger work in his 80"s

    Gone now.We remain to remember and miss him. No new music from his guitar.

    This song takes a bit of attention. The lyrics are at times hard to follow. We are hearing about the effects of lost love, the jealousies and fears of the newly broken hearted. It is laced with obscure references, that with effort on our parts can be untangled. I reference "out on the D train" This refers the Dylan's past loves.

    This is a psychological study of massive heart break and it Amazes me!



    Dig this lyric:
    "The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face"

    "Jewels and Binoculars hang from the head of the mule"

    Change Mule to ass and you arrive at an understanding of why they make this all "Seem so cruel." Genitalia are not welcome in the middle of a break up.

    The lyrics are remote but not inaccessible. Have fun "Decoding " Dylan, it's really worth the effort.

    Of all his many many many songs. This one holds my attention as do few others.
    It is I think Dylan's opus on America, a country he loves and at the same time must despise.

    Like many of his songs it appears to be stream of a consciousness.

    Yes, the girl will hopefully continue with music! Nice performance! jfsg (Just for poops and grins,) I didn't think you had the name of Pentatonix right. Sorry to me apita here.

    Derek and the Dominoes sure took over the rock world for a few well deserved weeks with "Layla." What a best of best of songs. Naw, I never say "the b...". Far too dangereuse (as them Frenchies say) I am perhaps overly concerned about going onto some idiot's bad person list. That's why I only use the French spelling and that's not often.

    It took me quite a while to find out that Duane Allman also plays guitar, and fantastically in this tune. "Eat a Peach" is a painful LP that commemorates his passing.

    This instrumental of "Layla" starts out badly yet becomes surprisingly good. Thank you for posting the original "Layla" plus this too.

    Having been properly chastised, I humbly beg forgiveness for spelling Pentatonix incorrectly.

    Yes, this is a sad one. He had "really made it" but that's not enough for some people. Thankfully!
    I was so sorry when he crashed his airplane. Maybe he didn't know that light twins are very dangerous to fly for at least just one reason. Details supplied on request.

    Not at all meant in a chastising way. I just am not happy with misspellings. And shame on me for saying so.

    Addendum. This is a response to post #517 in this thread. Easy to get cornfused with all of these posts that cite specific posts.


    I've never heard the first song before. It is a wise admonition. Thanks for posting it, Daniel! The second most of us have heard thousands of times. They are both very good songs.

    It's been what? Fourteen years since I've seen you and your wife? Friends, I must honestly relate that Daniel most likely could NEVER have made a better choice.

    Suffice it to say that Patti is a singularly wonderful woman. And beautiful too.


    Addition:
    So sorry, I missed what you wrote about your overwhelming masculine beauty.
    Great apologies, Daniel. I can't get a handle on your appearance all of those years ago. My bad?

    Your better half certainly registered on me, but truth to tell I can't recall an actual face from memory. Yet what's left from memory was impressive in many ways.

    Used to think I never forgot a face. So many illusions fallen by the wayside!

    Argh, more flaws of mine exposed.

    Classic example of keyboard humor being misunderstood. You were correct George. Proper names are most important.
