    Well that was all rather anticlimactic...

    So here's JR covering Dylan....even Dylan loved this cover...dedicated....

    "Of all the versions of my recorded songs, the Johnny Rivers one was my favorite. It was obvious that we were from the same side of town, had been read the same citations, came from the same musical family and were cut from the same cloth. When I listened to Johnny’s version of “Positively 4th Street,” I liked his version better than mine. I listened to it over and over again. Most of the cover versions of my songs seemed to take them out into left field somewhere, but Rivers’s version had the mandate down — the attitude and melodic sense to complete and surpass even the feeling that I had put into it. It shouldn’t have surprised me, though. He had done the same thing with “Maybellene” and “Memphis,” two Chuck Berry songs. When I heard Johnny sing my song, it was obvious that life had the same external grip on him as it did on me." Bob Dylan - The chronicle

    [discussion] forum closure

    in Canucks Talk

    Posted

    It's been a year of massive personal upheaval for me and the closing of this forum is like the icing on the sh*t cake of it. Found love here, wandered away for a bit...lost love...headed straight back to good ole CDC and made a beautiful re-connection.... over 20 years I've been here. For the good. For the bad. For the highs and for the lows. CDC has been a part of my life for so long I can't even imagine if not being here. I have made friends here that I never thought I'd see eye to eye with.... battled with....cried with... mourned with when we lost a treasured member... celebrated weddings, and births of children... laughed with til we couldn't breathe... found common ground on a level that sometimes is hard to find in 'real life'... as in, the person standing next to you in the grocery store! :P  This is a tad all over the place right now, I'm sure I'll have something MUCH more eloquent to say before the end of the month... just needed to say Thank You to a really lovely group of people who I feel like I've been through the wars with... comrades in arms we've been. I sometimes think that the Universe must have brought us all together, here, in this place for some unknown reason... to have found my way back here in a more present way this past month or so has been so very perfect in so many ways. (And I hope that the person this is directed to knows I'm talking about them!) I'm a little gobsmacked at this news... on some level I just figured CDC would always be here. Which I know is beyond silly at my age...

    I need to thank SN for his massive patience with me over the years... and for allowing me to come back with a new name and account. His patience has known NO end after all this time!! Thank you for the new place to go.... some of us have been brothers (and sisters and lovers) in arms on other incarnations of a Canucks Refugee board but we always knew that CDC was here to come home to when and if we needed to. Never one to keep it short, I'm sure I'll have more to say as the time comes to wave goodbye to our beloved CDC.... GO CANUCKS!!

    It was a bucket list item fulfilled when I got to see him in concert with James Taylor at Rogers in May '22..... it turned me into an even bigger Jackson Browne fan, if that was even possible! This song seemed to captivate everyone.... almost pin drop time! :wub:

    LOVE it!!! Thanks, D! :wub:

    For some reason this song kept popping into my head today...

     

    ♪♪ Outlaws waitin' for the stage,
    Desperadoes from another age
    So lock up your daughters and hide your silver away
    Those rock and roll cowboys are on the road again..... ♪♪

    RIP Bruce Guthro.... so many beautiful songs you've left us with...This song that landed on my desktop tonight seems to be the one calling out to be shared in remembrance...Goodbye, and thank you, Bruce....
     

     

     

    And with Runrig which is where I first found him.... listen to that crowd singing with him!!
