Dylan Days

Well, another Dylan Days week has come and gone. The event, which now takes place annually in Hibbing MN, honors their hometown boy who made good, Robert Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan. Once again I failed to make it due to other commitments, but for sure one day I will make the trek since it is practically in my backyard.

The broader purpose behind Dylan Days is to encourage a greater appreciation for the arts, whether music, writing or pictorial. In whatever form it takes, let your creative spirit rise up and fly.

One highlight of this year's Dylan Days was the opening of a special exhibit at Ironworld called "Tangled Up In Ore," a retrospective of Dylan's life in Hibbing. For more info about this annual celebration of a native son, visit http://www.dylandays.com/

Ah well, this afternoon Susie and I went downtown for another annual event, the Battle of the Jug Bands. It's music to our ears, and live. Can't beat it. If you've got music in your heart, let it ring out.
