I thought I would do a quick Bob Dylan tribute post with one of my favourite Bob Dylan songs. My son, Henry, went to see Bob in Cardiff on Thursday. Just don't tell his school that I thought a Bob Dylan gig would be infinitely more educational than a couple of days in a town centre High School! The friend that he went with first saw Bob in 1964. Henry has listened to Bob since he was tiny and then grew into buying Dylan CDs with his pocket money. He also likes to play acoustic guitar and practices Dylan songs. He loved the gig, he said Bob was "Very Rock n Roll". That is not bad as he was 70 this year. I don't feel very Rock n Roll at forty so I hope I improve with age!!! I have ordered a harmonica for Henry as his ambition is to tour pubs playing Dylan songs! What a week, Muesli, chickpeas and Bob Dylan....I will be knitting my own Granola in no time.
Love and Peace to All Y'all Maaannn!

Oh my dear friend Lucy.. I love your post! That's *SO* cool that you let Henry skip school to go to a Bob Dylan concert!! Lucky boy! Hugs from Oregon.. Teresa
ReplyDeleteWow, lucky Henry!
ReplyDeleteMy two little boys love their harmonicas and love to listen to Bob Dylan. Mind you with parents born in the 60's and 70's and siblings born through the 80's and 90's they have a vast range of musical influences to draw upon.
I do so hope your boy gets to fulfil his ambition.

Right on.Far out. Peace.
ReplyDeleteWow, he's a lucky chap and you are one cool parent!
ReplyDeleteGoing to have to go and listen to some of my Bob Dylan cd's while I am cooking dinner today :)
Never really got Bob Dylan but none the less he is legendary. You can't beat live music. What a lovely thing to share.

ReplyDeleteAnd I agree wholeheartedly about the gig verses school thing!
Much love,
