Some of you fellow trixters may be able to relate to this. Whilst enjoying a guest free evening I put on an old lp that I used to love and was reminded of whilst on our latest Spanish bike tour. It is of course (if you had not guessed) by Bob Dylan. Although a bit crackly and me been partially pissed I was even more convinced that this guy is "mecurial" I got thinking about the age of this music and his previous stuff that influenced me then (Blood on the tracks) and the effect it has on me now, it still engages and without chords it is still poetry and has meaning. So after another measure of Scotlands finest I decided to do an un Yorkshire like thing. I got philanthropic and decided to buy my Barbarian local mate a couple of BoBs cd`s convinced that his music collection was shite without any original Dylan stuff.
Was I right to do that? or have I betrayed my Kinfolk in Yorkshire.?
If you have this Lp I urge you to play it, there is not a duff track on the album.

You were right to do it, although whether it will work is another matter.
I have 'Blood on the tracks' both in vinyl and CD, it's a great record.
Cheers
