When I walked into th...Glad you enjoyed this, too.<br /><br />When I walked into the living of my childhood home on Wednesday, August 28, 1963, it was Bob Dylan's singing voice that caught my attention on the TV set -- just as when I was a child of 4 or 5 hearing Mahalia Jackson for the first time on TV. I stopped whatever it was that I was doing and listened. In my lifetime, very few singing voices have had that power. I don't remember hearing Mahalia Jackson that day in 1963 or Martin Luther King, Jr's speech either. I was 13 years old, and my attention span was short. All I remember is Bob Dylan's voice and the black and white TV image.<br /><br />Thanks so much for the link to "Time Passes Slowly #1."<br /><br />Bill Shakespeare. Of course. Tell ol' Bill. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljOUM4s3cG4<br /><br />Interesting to listen to "Tell Ol' Bill" today. I remember seeing that movie but didn't catch the lyrics. Starts off sounding something like the beginning of "Duquesne Whistle." And has these lyrics:"<br /><br />" ...The tempest struggles in the air<br />And to myself alone I sing<br />It could sink me then and there<br />I can hear the echoes ring ..."<br /><br />"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe."

And there's more truth than one might think in that Shakespeare comparison — indeed, I made an analogy between Bob and Bill myself in a blog post some time back!<br /><br />Try this too: http://vimeo.com/73242019The Solitary Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284354541952038339noreply@blogger.com
