About Song for Dylan (Ode to the Bard)
There’s a children’s story out of England called The Truthful Harp in which a hapless king named Fleudder Flam wants nothing more than to travel as a wandering bard, so he leaves his kingdom and seeks out the Chief bard at Caer Dathyl. When questioned by the Chief to see if he is worthy, everything he learned flies out of his head, and he makes a folly of it. The Chief takes pity on him and gives him a magical harp and sends him on his way. And so the story goes on…he ends up doing great deeds but lying about them, and in the end the magical harp teaches him not to stretch the truth. I got to thinking about bards, and I doubted if there ever was a truer bard than Bob Dylan. This song is my tribute to him.

About Movin’ On
Been around cheaters,liars, idiots who think they''re geniuses, and just plain fools in my days. Time to move on, and get the hell out of Dodge, if only in my mind.
About North Country Dream
I’ve spent a lot of time in the summers in northern Michigan, since I was born, and the memories are stark and woven into many layers now. The land there once belonged to the Ojibway and Chippewa Indians, and their heritage lives on in the hearts and minds of many people. I couldn’t write about this great land without honoring the native Americans there.
About Restless Journey:
Well we’re all on a journey through life and ultimate death in one way or another; mine is a restless one, both real and imaginary; I would want to go to the edge of the earth if it existed, like they imagined it did once, and see the sunrise there; or go back to see the Garden of Eden, and behold its beauty as it was described in the scriptures; or sail out of Barcelona into the sunset; or go to the Grand Canyon, just to feel at peace; and I don’t want to be afraid to stray off the beaten path, take the road less traveled, meet the farmer in the dell, meet the wise ones of old; learn their wisdom, enrich my life, learn how to be true to myself until the day I die; take time to enjoy simple pleasures like watching a train roll out of sight, hearing a drum beat simple but strong, seeing a rainbow up in the sky, catching a moonbeam in my hand, spending time with an old friend; and my heart tells me to be happy; feel my lover’s breath on my neck, capture his smile, have the power to make his soul sing, his spirits fly, tremble when I hear his rap upon my door; I also want to make a difference; do some good like stop man from killing, perhaps send the president to the police to atone for his crimes, bring someone like John Lennon back to life, get to the bottom of the Kennedy assassination; I’d like to get to a point where I finally have it all and be content not to want any more; and the driving forces in my life and in my imagination still keep the journey turnin’, keep it rollin’ on
