forgetful heart

grew up with the songs of bob dylan/LP by LP
turned acoustic folk to rock and role play
to the soundtrack of robert zinneman
(all the poems in our world
may not save one sparrow/yet we listen
on and off,as he oscillated between Judaism/Christianity
wife beating and child rearing/hiding
behind Gemini masks of creativity
(yes -he is artist/poet/photographer
as well as original singer-songwriter/performer
It is the first day of December 2010
Tom Palaimo re-opens our ears  again
to the sounds of "harmonica bob"
after first playing the original tunes
he allows us to hear why Homer is a good comparison
Achilles on harmonica/Odyssey of America
singing slave songs in a blues mood
Room full to capacity-listening on deep
for which we thank both UT,HRC and we
who all grew deeper hearing harmonica bob
as if for the very first time...
