I'm heading over to that more... azure place in the near future. Same name - skfl. Ping me over there and the following can commence.

Today is Don Reno’s birthday. No offense to Earl but Don was more innovative. Chordal runs, tremolo picking, guitar-type strumming, jazz, swing, early rock and roll – it’s all there in his playing. Strong tenor vocalist and could write songs as well. Bill wanted him but Don went off to fight WWII. When he returned Earl had already taken the role. Happy birthday Don.

“His First New York Concert,” the ads promised. Certainly his longest New York concert then, and the first with his face and name on a poster.
Today: Exploring a high-profile (but almost empty) early Dylan show at Carnegie Chapter Hall, November 4 1961.

Today, we sadly say goodbye to Garth "Honey Boy" Hudson, the last living original member of The Band. A musical genius and cornerstone of the group’s timeless sound, Garth once said, “I found some true enjoyment in helping people get to the bottom of their feelings.” Through his music, he did just that—helping us all feel more deeply and connect to something greater. Rest easy, Garth. 🕊

Blood on the Tracks came out 50 years today!
I spoke to Paul Till, who took the cover photo (no, it's not a painting). The 20yo college dropout had sent some live shots to the Dylan office on a whim. He'd found their address in the phone book.

So much great music in this list - dig in.
The late co-leader of The Olivia Tremor Control and Circulatory System and a guiding force behind Elephant 6, Will Cullen Hart leaves behind a decades-long legacy of tracking and collaging as prolifically as he spoke. daily.bandcamp.com/lists/wil…

David Lynch, our beloved dad, was a guiding light of creativity, love, and peace. On Monday, January 20th—what would have been his 79th birthday—we invite you all to join us in a worldwide group meditation at 12:00pm NOON PST for 10 minutes.
Let us come together, wherever we are, to honor his legacy by spreading peace and love across the world. Please take this time to meditate, reflect, and send positivity into the universe.
Thank you for being part of this celebration of his life.
Love,
Jennifer, Austin, Riley and Lula Lynch

Spoke to Terri Thal, Bob Dylan's first manager (before Grossman!), about what managing Bob meant when he was an actual complete-unknown, Dylan writing about her in Chronicles, and whether the new movie captured the people and Village scene she knew.

Ray Padgett goes deep in documenting Bob Dylan concerts — just don't call him a "Dylanologist."
"So much of Dylan scholarship is from academia, but that's not how I approach this stuff."

I like how this short film foreshadows everything he was going to do with Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive.

On the opening song of his 14th album, Bob Dylan sings “I think we’ve done this once before.”
While much of Planet Waves is familiarly Dylan, like the crashing tides referenced in its title, the record also turns in ways that feel new. 🧵
