Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts.


There's a whole story here - it puts me in mind of old westerns, saloon bars, saloon girls, a mystery man - sipping whiskey and watching. If it were a film it would be Clint Eastwood "Man with no Name" or one of the darker versions of Gunfight at the OK Corral.

I didn't get into Dylan proper until I was 32 and then I went mad and bought everything. There are so many great songs that he has written and too many favourites to mention but today I'm going for Every Grain Of Sand because it seems the right kind of song to hear on Sunday morning.



Today I been spinning some vinyl and came across a 'bootleg' album, 1 of 3 called 'the great white wonder' there is a song I played a lot today which is variously called 'Who You Really Are' or 'Back Door Blues', version I got sounds like it's played on a 12 string guitar and the opening line and harmony knock me for six every time, sort of why I put it on this morn:

"I'd rather see my coffin comin' in through my back door,

I'd rather see my coffin comin' in through my back door,

Than the girl I'm lovin' sayin' she don't love me no more.."

Sign Language, which he duetted with Clapton.

never heard of that one Keef, is it off the Bangladesh album / concert ?


Sorry for late reply. No, it was on a Clapton album called "No reason to cry". Someone gave me a load of old vinyl albums, when I was a teenager, and this was in the pile. Don't know what it is about this song, but I have loved it since I first heard it.


I'm not really a huge Dylan (or Clapton for that matter) fan, but I love Sign Language.

Revived at KK's suggestion in honour of the Nobel...


So many hundreds to choose from but my Desert Island Discs choice would be Shelter from the Storm from Blood on the Tracks. Some of his best imagery ("In a little hilltop village/They gambled for my clothes/I bargained for salvation/She gave me a lethal dose..."), beautiful tune and reminds me of all the amazing women, from mother to wife with a few in between, who've offered me shelter when I needed it.

Another vote for Mozambique from me


Although a friend of mine who is big Dylan fan insists it's the worst song on Desire. I don't agree but have picked up on Hurricane as my 'current fave' as a result of listening to the whole album recently. My 8 yr old son really likes it too, so I had to stop playing it round the house due to the inappropriate language...

    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
