Bob Dylan

Cindy, her daughter Heather, and I went to see Bob Dylan on Sunday evening. Great show. I've seen him four times now, and every time is better than the previous.

Some shows I've seen him more animated than others. This one was less so. He moved about a little bit, and did his Bob poses. I didn't see him smile much, but I was back a ways.

He does so many different styles of music. Bluegrass, folk, country folk, country, swing, good old fashioned rock and roll, rock, and a few less describable things. And of course he sings them in his own inimitable voice. I didn't care for how he changed the tune on many of the songs. He sings different melodies on many of his classics. Not only that but many of them sound like the same tune.

The musicians he had with him were good. They could back him up on al those different styles. Charlie Sexton on guitar, Tony Garnier on stand up and bass guitars, David Kemper on drums (the guy with the really big cowboy hat) and Larry Campbell on mandolin, banjo, fiddle, acoustic guitar, electric guitar (and bottleneck), and dobro.

The highlights for me were "Summer Days" (that song is pure swing and I couldn't believe how many people were standing still), "Highway 61 Revisited" (of course), and "All along the Watchtower" (not normally one of my favorites, but at this show it was awesome).

Odor Shield update

Odor Shield trash bags.

The bags only stink for about a day, but they don't do anything at all to prevent garbage odor. And the "fresh scent" is worse than I first thought. I'm going to keep using them, at least for a while.
