I am among the last standing original Dylan fans...discovered him before most of the rest of the world did, saw him in a half filled theater in Newark and stood in a back alley after the show while he waited for his car (a VW) to pick him up, Suze Rotolo on his arm. I handed him a poem I wrote about Kennedy's assassination and he put it in his pocket and asked if I wanted a swill out of his cheap red wine bottle (the kind with a basket on it) Did we (my best friend and I) want to go with them to a party in Greenwich Village? We were in high school, had to get home by curfew. You did I beautiful job with this one. A joy to listen to.

You certainly have a way of making covers your own, with Dar’s “Calling the Moon” coming to mind. But even more, there are those songs that -- if you didn’t know it WAS a cover -- you’d swear it was Shindell original. “Cold Missouri Waters” and “Shades of Black, Shades of Blue” are two songs that I first heard sung by you and was shocked to find were covers.
