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...

    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
    • Hi All, I’d like to recommend Aaron Manser, who several others on this forum have also used. Aaron is an excellent plasterer, and has just finished a complicated piece of plastering work for me, including a large expanse of ceiling. His work has been of the highest quality, his attention to detail is exceptional, and he’s also very quick, and tidy too. As an added bonus he has a lovely singing voice. Happy to provide any photos of the work he has done. This is the third time over the past few years I’ve had Aaron back. Aaron Manser - 07773 410661 Regards, Damien
