apart fom the tracks mentioned, for different reasons, and apart from my own personal favourites, the one which stands out for me in terms of visual imagery is Se?or, Se?or, (Tales of Yankee Power), I can see him in the doorway of the hacienda, dust from horses hooves on the horizon , if he had only mated with Laura Esquivel, imagine. the magical realism that partnership would have produced, or Isabel Allende, wonderful stuff, well deserved and about time too.

interesting how many of the (recent) likes are off Blood On The Tracks. Years ago, as a result of a combination of feck-ups, I spent Xmas on my own at a mates house - log fire, cooked my own bird and went through his record collection. Found BOTT. When Shelter From The Storm came on as first track I was covered in music for the entire day and when folks arrived later feeling sorry for me I was Mr. Grateful for what I'd had access to that day. Great album and such a tiny part of what he's written.


Rendel thanks for finding this thread again, I could not find it earlier and assumed it'd been deleted. So now we're here, my current fave (and one I may try playing at the Jam in Nov) is Fourth Time Around:

(can't find it on youtube !)

If push came to shove, Blood On The Tracks is probably my favourite album of all time.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
