I can remember back in 1970 anxiously awaiting on a new Dylan album (which at that time was about every 6 months). I'd save my money I earned working for my neighbor's landscape business for a $1.00 an hour, & truck it on down to the local record store to scoop up the latest Dylan record. At that time I had a summer job working on a golf course. They stuck me way down in the woods clearing out around this huge lake. I had this long sickle that I slashed away at the brush, loaded it on a trailer & hauled it away. I was alone all day just me, the lake, that sickle & my radio wailing tunes over the tranquile pond as the sun slowly rose up over the pine trees. Back then the radio was pretty generous about playing at least one song from every Dylan album released. And I could count on hearing "Wigwam" (a surperb instrumental from "Self Portrait" at least two or three times a day). That album brings back some very peaceful memories. If this was a test to see how much Bob could get away with, well just smell the wild honeysuckle as my sickle slices through it while the cool summer breeze drifting over the lake & Bob & me humming away to the tune of "Wigwam".
