Back in 2002 ...I wrote a poem. Lyrics without music as a sorta homage to someone who inspires and influences a lot of my work -- Bob Dylan. It's not my equivalent to Dylan's ode to his hero, "Song for Woody". But more a "nod to the man" by lifting lines, characters and allusions from his work. For example, characters like Tiny Montgomery and places like Highway 61.
It's been sitting in my file cabinet for six years. Just words. We put music to it...
