Bob Dylan: Town Hall, New York City, New York, 12 April, 1963

(click on photo to enlarge)

In the spring of 1963, a couple of weeks short of his 22nd birthday and the release of his second album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, the singer-songwriter performed at the Town Hall, NYC.

The concert was professionally taped and scheduled for release . . . but Dylan's musical progress was so rapid that the 1963 concert was soon viewed as of historical interest only, and duly shelved.

Now, thanks to the wonders of the interweb, that Friday night in New York City is available to one and all in two zip files. For yr listening pleasure: blog pc

What a fantastic resource!! Thanks for the heads up on that show.

Judging from that photo, you're a fan of Dylan's. And since you are, I thought I'd introduce you to my new novel, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS, which I think you'd enjoy.

It's a murder-mystery. But not just any rock superstar is knocking on heaven's door. The murdered rock legend is none other than Bob Dorian, an enigmatic, obtuse, inscrutable, well, you get the picture...

Suspects? Tons of them. The only problem is they're all characters in Bob's songs.

You can get a copy on Amazon.com or go "behind the tracks" at www.bloodonthetracksnovel.com to learn more about the book.
