joan baez, bob dylan and the rain

[just_jenni]

It's raining today, but gently and the sky is trying to choose between light and clouds. Its colour is white in some places and very pale blue in others. I feel odd today as if I am coming down with something so I decided to relax and listen to music, mainly Bob Dylan and Joan Baez.

Their songs take me back to when my sister and I were in our late

I loved the story of you and your sister making up words to Bob Dylan's song. That sounds like what my sister and brother and I would do on our annual camping trips. Those jokes continue into adulthood.

You and I are not musically compatible! Bob Dylan and Joan Baez are on my list of "Singers I Can Not Stand to Hear Sing." On the other hand, they are two of my brother's favorites. He'll do Joan Baez singing impersonations just to annoy me.

I hope you feel better. A rainy evening with music and tea might be the cure.

I have a lot of stories I could tell regarding Bob Dylan. I never knew him personally but back in the day some major events in my life seemed to include him in one way or another.

I like all different kinds of music but he and Joan Baez have stayed with me all these years. Folk music has always been a favourite.

Yes, thanks, I am feeling a bit better. This time of year brings on my grass and tree allergies and sometimes triggers a sinus infection, which I think I was starting to get. I'm trying to send it packing by using a steroid nasal spray and Advil Cold & Sinus. I don't want to visit the doctor but I think if I need to I can get him to call my pharmacy with a prescription for antibiotics.

I love that image of the two of you singing about the spider infested outhouse in the style of Bob Dylan.

I do hope you feel better soon, feeling ill is a bit scarier than usual these days.

Thank you so much. I think I am/was getting a sinus infection triggered by my seasonal allergies. I do feel better today so perhaps I've managed to fight it off.

Hope you soon feel better. A very apt song.Hugs.

Thank you! I am starting to feel a bit better. I know this isn't the virus but probably a sinus infection. Am taking some meds I had on hand in case this happened. My allergies usually trigger it.

I became a fan of folk music during the 1960's thanks to my father taking me to a coffee house in the beatnik area of town when I was a kid. There was a neighbourhood in Toronto full of art galleries, little trinket shops and coffee houses. They fascinated me to such a great extent I even dream about them now.

I hope you start to feel better soon. Your description of the outhouse reminds me of my very early childhood (3) in Ireland. I was terrified of our outhouse and very relieved when we moved to Dublin, with indoor plumbing.

LOL. At the time I couldn't believe that country cottages had to have outhouses and not indoor toilets! When we visited my mother's aunt's country house in Quebec I was impressed because it was not only big but it had two indoor toilets and even a television set!
