Oh, you’re very welcome! Once a few others have read it, maybe we can start a discussion about Nashville. I’ve recently retired to Tennessee after a 30 year absence.

Haven’t read the article yet, so I don’t know if it mentions that Old Crow Medicine Show - who have collaborated with Dylan on a few songs - have been on a “Blonde on Blonde” tour where they perform the entire album, and are releasing their own cover version of the record.

Only spent one lovely night in Nashville, in '10. Walked over to the club a block from the old train station – the Station House, maybe? Something like that. Country roots-and-blues band plays for a while, and is then joined by … that skinny blond guy from Styx – Tommy something. A great example of how the city brings together strange musical bedfellows in a wonderful way.
