within a long walk from me, the excellent Chris Smither is playing. Unfortunately I won't be seeing him. So for all you people who (understandably, I suppose) think I think American culture sucks, I include my unreplied to post from Admin, explaining (I hope) my difficult personality.
It was important to me.
Maybe he's from New Orleans?
You are all very kind. Like someone else here once, I too feel like 'a clueless unnacomplished nuisance'.
Chris Smither in his excellent "Leave the Light On" (a plea, I'm sure) does a version of Dylan's "Visions of Johanna" which is fully equal to the original. Done as a resigned, reflective, melancholy walz, the new version has its own truth, which for me is that it is impossible to listen to it and not weep for what has happened to our world in the intervening 40 years.
I'm sorry that my difficulties with all this interfere with my sociability.
