Protest!

Hi All

I'm now working on an album of 'protest songs' (well someone has to), which will be a mix of classic songs dealing with major human rights issues, and my own material moaning about the minuscule size of the print on my vitamin supplements jars and the fact that my new car doesn't come with a spare wheel (not even a space-saver!).

Here's a taster: one's mine, one's Dylan's: they both have rather pleasant steel solos (I think), anyway it's about the protest not the steel!

Freedom!

You're probably tired of me commenting on your posts... sorry, but we can add "60's Dylan-esque" to the list of styles you do well.

That steel solo on Blowin' in the Wind is especially sweet. I never realized how much that song needed a tasty steel part.

Thanks. One thing I won't protest about Tucker: your comments. Always welcome (until they get negative, then I'll ignore you).

Enjoyed this immensely, Dylan is my teenager times idol and you do him justice so keep on protesting my friend!

Thanks Edward (as always)

But why Dylan? Surely I should be your teen idol!

Sorry Gary, you're way to old for that

Ouch! That hurt. Actually, I feel much older than I look, and I look much older than I am. And you wonder why my music isn't a little more up upbeat!

"Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now"

He wrote so rightfully Gary

That's what I am thinking too.

I think you think too much Joachim. But then, thinking about it, so do I.
