I really like this one, nicely done

My favorite Dylan tune. It’s a lot to remember

Also one of my favorites Bob. Way to go for it! I rarely play it and never think of recording it because there are just soooo many verses - it's like Hurricane, a long form novel of a Dylan song. So you memorize these songs when you record them? Man, I've never gotten past reading off of my iPad, with lyrics and chords, and a little bluetooth footswitch to turn the page... I memorized stuff when I was a kid playing in front of people, but I very VERY rarely had to sing (usually just rough Keith Richards type "harmony" parts along with whoever the lead screamer was that night). I had to remember the chords and keys and stuff, but not too many words... That's an impressive song to memorize!

Hi Ray, I can usually memorize the words and chords but I may have had a cheat sheet in front of me for this one, I can’t remember lol.

Kudos to all the performances so far. Here's my version of You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go off Blood on the Tracks. Recorded with an iPhone.

Thats a really nice version of that song. I play that one a lot, a bit more stridently. I recorded it but didn't put it up here because I wasn't very happy with it. I like yours a lot better! Thanks for sharing that...

Thanks, Ray. I appreciate it. Such a great song. I like the slowed down style on this one and feel like the melancholy suits the lyrics well.

You Ain't Going Nowhere. Thanks to my wife, Deb Hustin, for playing guitar - her first venture to the other side of the mic.

One can be daunted by recording this one because it's such a well known song and there's the PP&M Top 40 hit version and Stevie Wonder's great version a few years later. You show it can be done by just singing the song forthrightly. I like the subtle choice to double up on the "Blowin'."

I know what to expect from GlennWillow's videos by now. Glenn, you really raise the bar: the singing, the playing, the recording's sound are all just excellent. And yes, the picking on Don't Think Twice is so nice and so well recorded.
