[Leica] Boston T and Bob Dylan

[bdcolen at comcast.net (B. D. Colen)]

You can really hear that in the duets with Joan Baez from 63-65. Of course
you can't speak of the two voices in the same breath, but what strikes me is
that he is most definitely in tune with her - even if in tune in another
vocal universe.

BTW - Totally and completely off-topic, with no Leica, photo, image, or art
rationalization, but I am reminded of it by typing 63-65 - I cannot highly
enough recommend the Taylor Branch recently completed trilogy - America in
the King Years...Parting The Waters - 1956-63; Pillar of Fire - 1963-65; and
the recently release At Canaan's Edge - 1965-68. Particularly for any of you
younger LUGers who want a sense of what this country was like a very short
time ago, and who wonder why race seems to be such a big deal, these three
volumes are not to be missed. For that matter, they are a must read for
anyone interest in mid-20th century America, or anyone who just appreciates
spectacularly well written non-fiction.

End of commercial.

I have never met Taylor Branch, was never published by his publisher, have
no connection to his publisher, and...oh, wait, his wife was the girl friend
of my college best friend. ;-)
