 Bob Dylan...then and today

Been a huge Bob Dylan fan since first heard his records on WFMT Midnight Special in '63. Bought his first album simply titled 'Bob Dylan'. Later found out it was only one of his 40 studio albums between '62 and '23 that wasn't successful...only 5,000 sold. I had one. Still regret it's long gone. 

Thrilled to see him in concert in mid 60's at Aerie Crown Theater McCormick Place. Vivid memories of that wonderful nite still linger including date Cheryl, first song 'She Belongs To Me'. First half was acoustic, second was electric. When acoustic string broke, Dylan remarked "Never happened to my electric guitar" a sly reference to his recent electric critics. Curious, took me just a few minutes net search to locate the date and setlist...

Tonight daughter Jennifer taking me to see Bob Dylan perform at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island, Chicago, 60 years, 7 months, 12 days on. Pretty cool Dylan still alive and performing at 85. Cooler still I'm still alive and attending at 81.
