I've got it Michael, and I love it. Don't know why your blog readers haven't commented about this at all. It's a clever idea.

Thanks, Paul. I don't know either. Advance orders for the CD are good, but yes, I'd expected at least a few people to chime in, either positively or not. (BTW, less than a week now till the CD release date.) Ah well...

hi Michael
just heard Dylan playing harp on Harry Belafonte album Midnight special. Brian Mathew featured it on Sounds of the Sixties.
Was that really Bob? it sounds so uncharactaristically
"in tune".

Hi Joe. I don't think "in tune" is unusual for Bob (mostly), but certainly his playing there is, er, abnormally straight.

For much finer examples of his early prowess on the harp, listen to (a) his never-used-since cross-harp playing on 'In The Evening' in Minneapolis on 22 December 1961 and (b) his playing in March 1962 behind Big Joe Williams on 'Sitting On Top Of The World' (released on Spivey, 1964).

thanks for the reference Michael

it struck me later that dylan was using his hands on the Belafonte session, whereas we are use to hearing him play with his harminica in a rack ?
