After saying hello to the band
and asking them to send my greetings to Bob
I went over to the venue to play again.
I played acoustically because of technical problems.
it started to feel just like the old days but with less mobility.
i enjoyed myself improvising on like a rolling stone
and playing one more cup of coffee
which was my gateway tune to Dylan
also played a few Willie deville songs
as well as my own songs
I got a ticket again
and stood up near the side of the stage for the entire show
watchtower, masterpiece, desolation row ,
every grain of sand
again the highlights
after the gig I went out for pizza-
New York style pizza slices exist in Prague
i was hoping to show a video and a picture
but the people who took them
have not sent them……yet

Prague night 4
Last night I played before the first show
of bob Dylan’s 2024 european tour.
Before I started I ran into some people I knew from years ago
including a Hungarian man
who came up to me during the 2003 stones tour
and told me he had seen me with Dylan in 2000.
I played but the weather was damp and cold and I was alone
and I really didn’t enjoy it very much.
I did do a Sufi spin and It was good enough apparently
that a man with 3 of his teenage children
offered me a ticket for the following night’s show
which they had come a night too early for…..
sooo I will hear the show tomorrow night
ramblin
on the road again
it started a long time ago
In 1966 I heard the Tom Paxton song Rambling Boy
and I knew what I wanted to do
I haven’t done this in a while…
in 2000 I went on a street tour with Bob Dylan
but there was not a photo or recording ever made
In 2003 I went on tour with The Rolling Stones
making a movie called The Opening Act
because I wanted to retire from playing the street
and I wanted an interesting document
so after about 12 years watching the stars and
deciphering the Mayan calendar and Heavens
I am again back on the road
Monday night sleeper train to Prague
Tuesday night I played with old friend Heyme who played bass
who I knew from Antwerpen and his friend Maarten
who played piano at the ziskovsiska
we played 4 of my tunes including The 12th Gate,
a song I wrote for bob dylan in the mid 80’s
we also played Cathedral bells, Hoop for the lowly and Animal.
