1. Hey...cool

Have you seen the version on the Scorsese doc? Dylan does a live version of GFTNC on the bonus disc that I really almost can't watch at all, much less with other folks in the room. It is so amazing at such a young age and sounds so ancient that it really flips me out.

Remember me to one who lives there....

2. Just downloaded my first iTune album.

Dylan's Nashville Skyline! "Lay, Lady Lay" just came on! Too cool, these iTunes!

[speedoo]

3. I think you mean this:

I posted a bunch of youtube links from a Canadian TV show featuring a very young Dylan. Amazing stuff. Check out the Bob Dylan forum for others, including some incredible Rolling Thunder Review performances.

4. Yep...that's it...

Chills at the first notes....

Going back to check out Hard Rain. Thanks a ton for the link and upload.

5. Bob Dylan and a few others are responsible for my surviving Viet Nam.

Music got me through those Ho Chi Minh Trail nights. AFVN-AM, Quang Tri (FROM THE DELTA TO THE DMZ!). I was on the DMZ end of AFVN-Radio.

6. Thank-you sir

:patriot:

From the Delta to the DMZ, huh? Sorry to say I can't tell you what that means in terms of coverage area. A powerful signal? Y'all pull it in good?

Take care, brother....

:hi:

7. And I'm glad, soldier.

I was offshore, in a destroyer, planeguarding for the carrier Ranger. I'm very happy you made it back.

9. You real NAVY guys rocked! Big time.

I was I pseudo-Naval Aviator (Army flying SP-2Es under NATOPS). I loved it, when I was coasting-up for 18 hours in Laos, when I heard "NAVAL FIRE MISSION! SHOT OUT!" Look-out, NVA!

10. Man, I think we tried to do everything we could to support you guys.

My tour ended over there, so I was only there for a month or so. I used to love running things for shore bombardment with our 5 inchers, but I didn't get to do that.

If I could have stayed longer without re-upping for years, I would have. I had promised the wife I'd get back to her and the baby as soon as I could, so I did.

11. Nevermind, Hero.

Thank you for being there!

8. Here's a great way to start or expand a Dylan CD collection:

http://www.yourmusic.com/browse/album/Bob-Dylan--The-Limited-Edition-SACD-Hybrid-Set-60941.html?cname=BROWSE_DISCO_11688_ALBUMS

I received mine a few days ago, and the first album I played was Nashville Skyline. Amazing sound on these new discs. I used to kind of like the album, but I played it about four times the other day, and now I love it.

This set includes 15 albums, including all the great ones from the sixties (except for "The Times They are a Changin'") and seventies. All remastered, SACD and some in 5.1. Highly recommended.
