Two 1980s Horse Girl Books Face Off

Will The Horse that Came to Breakfast or Maggies Wish win? I’m doing something a little bit different this week. I’ve been going through my bookshelves to determine what to keep and get rid of. If it’s a book I don’t really remember very well, I’m re-reading it to help decide. As a person born in the 1980s, I just so happened to have two middle grade horse girls books first published in the…

Bob Dylan - Classic Music Review: Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan – Classic Music Review: Bringing It All Back Home

My father conned me into doing at least one Dylan review, so first, let’s get the sacrilege out of the way. I’ve never been a Dylan fan, for several reasons. One, he’s a terrible singer. Two, he’s musically boring. Three, he’s a lousy harmonica player. Four, the reverence that people of my father’s generation feel for Bob Dylan is so over the top that it triggers deep skepticism. I’ve come to…

Jazz and Upbringing: Marvin Thompson's 'Road Trip' reviewed

Jazz and Upbringing: Marvin Thompson’s ‘Road Trip’ reviewed

Marvin Thompson’s debut collection from Peepal Tree Press is a PBS Recommendation and deservedly so. All too often we are informed of the arrival of a startling voice, usually a vital one, striking a new note in English poetry. Well, this is the real deal: a superbly skilled practitioner of the art whose work is driven by two seemingly opposing forces. Thompson writes with a disarming sense of…

The guitar that killed folk #2

The guitar that killed folk #2

Cały w znakach piorunnych i piętnach zagłady Przed oczyma ciekawych obnaża sam siebie – I nagi aż do nieba, bezwstydny i blady Czuje się bohaterem, jak trup na pogrzebie! Gdy założyłem rodzinę, straciłem pasję do grania. Nie jestem wystarczająco dobry albo nie chce mi się, albo satysfakcjonuje mnie to na tyle, że mogę przejść do innych zainteresowań. Richard Gere w jednym z moich ulubionych…

Video: Bob Dylan Goes Electric at Newport, Sings ‘Maggie’s Farm,’ ‘Like A Rolling Stone’ & More

Dylan at Newport, 1965. Is there more to say about it?

Maybe.

But today I’m digging the music. And I’m digging seeing Dylan along and with Michael Bloomfield on lead guitar, Al Kooper on organ, Barry Goldberg on piano, bassist Jerome Arnold and drummer Sam Lay, along with Barry Goldberg on piano, playing an amazing set.

I really love this version of “Maggie’s Farm.” Michael Bloomfield sounds…

The guitar that killed folk #1

The guitar that killed folk #1

Często wróżbiarz, co własnej nie wywróżył doli, Nagłym skokiem na trwogę i bladością czoła Skupia widzów, krwi żądnych, i szerzy dokoła Postrach, nie pozbawiony grozy i swawoli! Bob Dylan występował na festiwalu muzyki folkowej w Newport już od kilku lat i był jego gwiazdą. Było to w Stanach mnóstwo lat temu. W tym samym czasie rosły w siłę zespoły rockandrollowe, a już niebawem muzyczny rynek…
