Something In The Way You Moved

Something, The Beatles

I Don't Have ... Since I Don't Have You

Since I Don't Have You, The Skyliners

Wow, it's a particularly rough night tonight.

But do you remember?

Highwayman, The Highwaymen
Like theTraveling Wilburys this was a super-group. Two different genres, the Highwaymen and the Traveling Wilburys so one really can't compare the two. What I like most about this concert is how the audience responded to each of the singers as they each came up separately. The audience was genuinely thrilled.

Eight Years

She said it would take eight years.

It's been eight years.

And not a moment goes by.

I Don't Know Why (I Didn't Come), Norah Jones

Yorkshire...meteors...pitch black midnights...village churches...Te Deum...you will be on my mind forever...but...

I've Got To See You Again, Norah Jones

Handle With Care

Saturday night; beautiful night for a bike ride; here, now, at Starbucks.

The Starbucks playlist is incredible:

• Don't Know Why, actually sung by Norah Jones
• Handle With Care, by an unknown group; written by Traveling Wilburys
• Dance Me To the End of Love, by an unknown female vocalist, Leonard Cohen's song

Writing credits for Handle With Care are shared by all five Wilburys, but the words are mostly Dylan's it seems, unless George Harrison, who appears to get most of the credit for the song, was greatly influenced by Dylan. Perhaps the idea for the song was George's and all band members contributed a line or a stanza, but certainly this is a "Bob Dylan stanza":

Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Handle me with care.

A random note, that's all.
Handle With Care, The Traveling Wilburys

Rievaulx Abbey

The other day we were in Provincetown, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, which has become a mecca for artists, much like Martha's Vineyard.

There was a painting there that reminded me of Rievaulx Abbey: the proprietor did not know the background to that particular painting. Perhaps the painter had been to Yorkshire; perhaps he/she had seen a photograph.

But it brought back many sweet memories.

There was a time when I could discuss the various religious sects and the many abbeys in Yorkshire, but I have forgotten much. Memory fades. I was going to post a YouTube video of "Faded Love," but the love did not fade. Memories fade, but the love did not fade.

So, maybe something else:
Sea of Heartbreak, Don Gibson
This was a huge hit but the tempo and the light-hearted back-up singers don't fit the lyrics.
