You hit 46 years old and you walk into the Blue Lantern in Central Station where a young girl is strumming a guitar and singing like an angel.Soon after a guy gets up and plays a Blind Lemon Jefferson song, followed by another guy who plays an obscure Bob Dylan song which other people actually know.You suddenly realise that people are still capable of going for a night out without getting pissed and having their ear-drums busted by plastic mechanical music.There were people talking about music,people listening to music and most of all people prepared to try and play music.
You've been strumming a guitar for years but you've never sang or played in public.Have you the balls to do it? Yeah,you come back the following week and you die on stage forgetting words to a song you've known for 30 years.It's then that you realise that it doesn't matter,you belong because everyone watching died with you ,you'll willingly die on stage every night because you're not bored anymore and people who are bored are people who are boring.The journey begins,long live live music ..........
Thanks Mickey! I made a mess of Mountains of Mourne cos my usually reliable Tacamine just would Not stay in tune! Good night tho' hope tonight and tomorrow go well for you, Love the 'early Dylan' on your player. Cheers, Peter
This is to let you know what's in store for 12th March @ The White Horse in Llanfair DC (Ruthin All Style Music) and The Blue Lantern, Wrexham on the 16th march
I wish more people would comment that way - one or two short sentences per song - even if they don't like it. But I'm (of course) glad you do like it! Stay tuned for the next sixpack...
Hey, first of all I want to tell you that the Dylan set you played in Moville on Sunday at Rawdons was ab-so-lute-ly marvellous and touching! A wonderful selection wonderfully performed! One of the DylanFest's highlights to me!
Enough of asskissin' for a start...;-)
Did you already listen to the Dylan covers at my site? No? You gotta hurry up! They'll be changed next week (the blog tells a bit about the cover sixpack(s)). Twould be nice to get a little comment...
I'll send you a message about the Berlin Bob Bash, soon.
