Cecelia and I were lucky enough to see Bob Dylan at BU's Agganis Arena last week. We grew up in different places but we both grew up liking Bob Dylan. We met at BU. So it was right and just. And I will try to properly recall thin's here. (Above you see him playing at Tony Bennett's 90th birthday late last year but, if you can imagine the band outfits as white, you get the same picture we saw, at least on the slow crooner numbers.) Mavis Staples opened the show and her voice is still strong. I'd be wrong not to mention. She put out a pretty good vibe that had optimism and resistance in it. Very useful this particular week. For his part, which was the big part, Bob is really a trip, and I think he has a bit of the put-on thing going on sometimes, but it seems like good fun mostly. I think he tries in his Neverending Tour to recreate the feel of some show somewhere in some Neverland place. I know parts of it made me recall when we saw him at Worcester's War ...

Glad to include this song by my old Mugar cadre mate David Hofstetter. It tells the tale of the Boston music scene back in the days when we used to stay out late! Dave was a giant help on The Sunnyland Blues book, the Just You and Me record and more. He was not just our official photographer, he was also East Coast promo man for Proud Truth Publishing.Come with us now to those fabulous  days of yesteryear. I love that Dirty Water! Sunnyland At The Keys By David Hofstetter At the Tam and at the Channel In black silk and in red flannel The music burrows deep into your brain Hubert Sumlin and Roy Orbison And a whole lot more of them Just one listen and you'll never be the same And the crowd is up and dancing Lots of sweat, lots of romancing It's July and the AC has broken down But there's still cold 'Gansett And the effect is nearly tantric On the couple in the tux and the wedding gown (Chorus) And Sunnyland at the keys He's making me b...

OZONE - Nov 11 - The wind held promise as shadows deepened on green turf and Aqueduct ground crew prepared for the 1 3/8th Mile Grade 2 Red Smith Stakes at OZONE PARK, N.Y. Saturday. As many as 12 thoroughbreds were expected to contest the event on the turf. I expected a slow early pace followed by some diligent closing. We got that -- if not a winner. On paper the race seemed to augur a conflict between some high-class visitors (Messi, Money Multiplier, Hunter O'Reilly, Oscar Nominated - together responsible for over $4.8 million in earnings) and some talented but less vetted locals. The visitors may have had more confirmed class, but they'd been through long campaigns that put their conditioning in question. As far as speed went, Money Multiplier with many established 100+ Beyers had and edge. Pace, again, appeared likely to be slow or moderate, and a stalker would seem to have better chance than late runner. I estimated a Beyer fig...

via GIPHY Should have called this Alphaland or some such.. Stasiville. But what's done is done. Took the monorail from downtown Seattle to space needle oct 31 2017. the ride is some strangeness as the monorail has the feel i'd imagine of east Europe in the 50s. quite - organized - a bit dowdy. alphaville. .  the children played as in cape Canaveral rocket  grotto . a lonely Hendrix museum is nearby - its frank ghery style older than the enola gay. i realize i am being watched.
