You should check out this article in The New York Times, which includes a gallery of photos from Dylan's youthful "Freewheelin'" period: https://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2017/04/17/how-does-it-feel-to-photograph-bob-dylan-ted-russell/<br /><br />Ellen: Yeah, I must say, I don't get the appeal of E,L &P at all.<br /><br />Red: Well, I suppose that's true, but I feel like a whiner when I think about the REAL issues facing a lot of people!<br /><br />Sharon: Yeah, that's a great cover, too! I always wonder about the cat in the foreground of that photo. Was it Carole's? What was its name?<br /><br />Jenny-O: I love Bread, and they're on my iTunes even now.<br /><br />Catalyst: Excellent! I love good liner notes. I looked up Stan Cornyn and did you know he twice won a Grammy for best album notes -- both times on Sinatra records? (He got several more nominations, too.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Cornyn<br /><br />Bug: It's true, although sometimes liner notes were more about what the record company wanted you to believe than about the musician him- or herself.

I still love their quiet, melodic music. I never play it, mind you, but the odd time it will be on the local radio station and it takes me back.<br /><br />Like you, I'm finding there's a lot of fun in watching the birds, especially at this time of year.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-60009405787174326252017-04-24T16:11:35.613+01:002017-04-24T16:11:35.613+01:00The album that comes to mind for me is Carole King...The album that comes to mind for me is Carole King's Tapestry.
