Memphis Blues......


(Santa mugs by Gary Rith--a new idea! I gotta make lots more)

Compared to when OTHER people do Dylan's tunes. And Cat Power here, is, um, a WHOLE LOT cuter than Bob. Then I was thinking Jimi Hendrix and...

    I agree, everyone does Dylan better than Dylan. How funny is that?
    BTW: I LOVE the Dave Matthews Band version of All Along the Watchtower...one of my favorite DMB songs ever.

  6. Cool Santa Mugs!
    I used to hate Dylan's voice, until I learned to sing along, and love his music, singing and all! Of course, like Linda, I too grew up in that era! (but, I'm still 36). LOL
    BTW: Those music videos were great too!

  7. Love Dylan's songs---hate his voice. Feel the same way about Leonard Cohen.
