If Dogs Run Free
On the album “New Morning”, Bob Dylan put out a song that is strange by even his standards – it’s called “If Dogs Run Free”, and it’s kind of some odd 50’s sounding jazz piano tune with a lady doing scat in the background. If you haven’t heard it, why not check it out here?…

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…

‘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…

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…

Tentative Decisions
We are four and a half months into this amazing adventure, and the last frames of the trip are starting to come into focus. It’s just Tentative Decisions at this point (which happens to be the title of a nice track off the “Talking Heads: 77” album), but after hearing from our very dear friends,…

Totally Nude
Am I just going for click-bait here with this post title? Am I making any of you taste your lunch sneaking back up in the back of your throat with the thought of me disrobed? At a minimum, are you intrigued enough to keep reading? Well if the answer was yes to any of those…

First Week/Last Week… Carefree
So this week’s title comes not from the Muppets, but from the Talking Heads’ debut album, “Talking Heads: 77”, which not surprisingly came out in 1977. In general, I think it’s a bad idea to put the year into the title or lyrics – it makes it feel dated. “Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s…
