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.
