Greetings and welcome to the final issue of 2023.We hope that you are managing to keep both safe and sane in the currently very unstable planet and from the wacky virtual world of social media. Since our last issue there has been the deaths of three more people from Dylan’s multiverse. Foremost amongst these was Robbie Robertson who passed away on 9th August. Robertson was a key shaper of Dylan’s live sound as a member of The Hawks when he plugged in and faced the world’s audiences in late 1965 and 1966. Of course their collaboration continued beyond that time. Given their time together, Dylan’s statement following the announcement was brief and almost trite:Comrades From The North
May you climb on every rung ..........
