Edge of the Ocean
For this post’s title, I went with one of the songs from Bob Dylan and the Band’s sessions back in the 60’s. Bob Dylan has written more words than there are. Over the last 15 or 20 years, there’s been a whole side business of finding stuff that Dylan recorded that wasn’t officially released and…

Hot Fun in the Summertime/Warmth of the Sun
Okay… I know I said I’d use Dylan song titles for the blogs during this stretch, but with the loss of two amazing and tragic musicians the other week, I decided to go with a Sly and the Family Stone/Beach Boys mash up title for the new blog post. If you haven’t seen it, I…

‘Cross the Green Mountain
Hello all! I hope all is good in your neck of the woods! For this week’s title, I chose kind of an obscure Dylan track – this was found on the Bootleg Series Vol. 8 release, and it’s a song that Dylan wrote for a Civil War movie called ‘Gods and Generals’. I hope Tom…

Drifter’s Escape
Well hello again friends! Thought that I’d forgotten about you? Why of course not! After heading home for a couple of months to take care of some health stuff, we are back out on the road! I will say – in my last post, when we got home at the start of March, I mentioned…

Home
So, one thing that always cracked me up about Tom Petty was that while most of his albums were under the banner of ‘Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’, he also put out three ‘solo’ albums just under his Heartbreaker-less name… but on all three of those albums, the musicians he worked with were pretty much…

Here Comes My Girl
Well, to get the key question out of the way right here in the lede – where’s Nico? Still loving his time in Tonto National Forest! I thought I’d do a slightly different blog post this week. I’ll still catch you up on what we’ve been doing since we last spoke, but also, in the…

Can’t Stop the Sun
“Can’t Stop the Sun” was the closing tune on one of Petty’s later albums, “The Last DJ”. Thought I’d go with this one, because this week, we put some new solar panels on top of our travelling caravan! This probably won’t be a big surprise, but as I mentioned in the last blog post, we’re…

Time to Move On
Hey everyone! Welcome to 2025! After four and a half months back in our fair city, it’s time to move on. As Tom Petty sang: Yeah, it’s time to move on, time to get goingWhat lies ahead, I have no way of knowingBut under my feet, baby, grass is growingIt’s time to move on, it’s…

Houses in Motion
Well, if you’re a big Talking Heads fan who reads this blog, you probably figured I’d get to using the title ‘Houses in Motion’ (from the 1980 release ‘Remain in Light’) at some point. This seemed like a good week to use it, since we found ourselves around more moving houses than we’ve seen in…
