doca! Bom dia. Eu me pergunto, existe uma tradição de véspera meados do verão de noite no Brasil?
Avatar 7:04am
doca:

@Jeff: It's exactly that, "Riding through Hades/Hell"
@Sem: Haha Bom dia! But I couldn't understand what work you're talking about
Avatar 7:08am
Sem Chumbo:

@doca: google translate has it's limitations.
There is a Northern Hemisphere tradition of celebrations on the evening before summer starts. I think it was a hold-over from pagan celebrations revolving around the sun's movements over the course of a year. Hope that is more clear:-D

Yair Yona:

such a beautiful version of A Woman Like You
Avatar 7:11am
doca:

Oh now I got it. No, we don't have anything like that, but if you think about it Christmas is obviously related the Solstice. One major Brazilian celebration is St. John's Day, or Midsummer in the Northern Hemisphere. In Northeast Brazil it's the great holiday of the year, even bigger than Christmas.
Avatar 7:14am
doca:

@Sem: Do you celebrate something on January 6th? In some regions over here people keep this tradition alive with the Folia de Reis (King's folly, in a bad translation), when there is music and chanting because of the arrival of the Magi to meet baby Jesus.
Avatar 7:19am
Sem Chumbo:

Northeast Brazil, eh? I'll have to look into that. Muito obrigado!
About January 6th, I know that the Anglican and Methodist churches celebrate *The Epiphany" as part of the regular liturgical calendar. Nothing too special. But the Eastern Orthodox Church, following a different calender, make a much bigger deal out of it, later in January..

TDK60:

I get here right as the Byrds say adieu. And that spooky organ from the Stones.
Avatar 7:26am
doca:

Yeah, actually we should exchange gifts on January 6th to be "ecclesiatically" correct. I know that Folia de Reis is related to Portuguese-colonized regions (All of Brazil is Portuguese, but there are some regions where Portuguese people came later and maintained their traditions), so it must have to do with their Catholicism.
The Magi are called "Três Reis Magos" in Portuguese.
Avatar 7:29am
TDK60:

And looking back at the list, some faves here today -- the Farinas from a seminal album--'Grey Day'; the Thompsons from 'Bright Lights'. Always thought 'Mandolin Wind' is great folk-rock.
  7:43am
Mark:

Haven't listened to "Blood on the Tracks" in years. One of his best. I heard he recorded a complete album with another band and that record was pressed and ready to go and at the last minute he decided he wanted to re-record the whole thing with a different band and they had to stop everything. I've heard bits and pieces of the other recording--couldn't really hear what was wrong with it. But that's the artist's prerogative, I guess.
Avatar 7:46am
TDK60:

Mark: Which is odd, as I hear a few guitar errors in the possibly 2nd version of 'Big Girl'. Not that I'm a super perfectionist.

  7:56am
Mark:

Well, Dylan was absolutely not a super perfectionist either, TDK. He went entirely by feel. His sessions could be quite chaotic--he didn't like rehearsals and he'd pretty much whip through a song once and you had to keep up. It was always good when there was someone like Al Kooper around ("Blonde on Blonde") who could go through the material before Bob even showed up.

Sem Chumbo:

Oh, boy, RevRab: another factoid that has stuck like a burdock to woolen socks. Thanks, I guess;-)

Wow, Jeffrey, Greg Brown--great voice. A lot of memories coming back today with your show. You've got me scrambling to my CD shelf to dig up some old faves for later...

Hey Sem!
  8:00am
Mark:

TDK I just remembered where I heard the other version--on "Biograph." And it's actually quite a different performance--his vocal phrasing particularly.

Mark, Bob D. is known for always doing songs differently, eh?

@Jeffrey - I'm glad I'm not the only one who was bothered that background noise!

Marc:

1986 for Greg Brown
  8:03am
Mark:

I saw him live about 10 years ago, and I didn't recognize any of the songs he played--except a scorching version of "Highway 61 Revisited."
Avatar 8:06am
Sem Chumbo:

@Mark: had the same experience. Saw him in Ottawa early in the 90's, and the first half dozen songs were totally unlike the *original* versions. Ten years later, in Halifax, just the opposite. @l@
  8:08am
Mark:

He looks at songs as a living thing--ever changing. I respect that, but as a fan, it's a little tough to keep up!

I didn't appreciate "You Got the Silver" as a teenager--used to skip over that one. It took a little life experience for me to get that one. Beautiful slide--Keith is actually a fine guitar player when he tries.

That's the weirdest thing--I have this old vinyl album called "History of British Blues," I don't listen to it that often, but I did this week, and Jo Ann Kelly's on it. And now here she is!
