LOL! If you were interested knowing the facts, you would have checked them yourself.

I thought I had related this story in one of our music threads, but I sure can't find it, even with moderate searching...........    At one of the Jazzfests (this one was early '90s), a group of us were watching the Allman Brothers do their thing.  Huge crowd, at the biggest stage there.  They were in one of their jams, with Warren and Dickie struttin' their stuff.  So.........one can see a guy backstage (you can see 'thru' the stages there) strapping on a guitar.  (It's not unusual to see all kinds of guest appearances and conglomerations at Jazzfest, since the milieu is so thick with hot players.)  Kinda moved like Dylan, and sure enough it was.  So........with no introduction (as if one was needed), mid-song, he comes out, struts right up to Dickie, literally toe-to-toe, and they just go at it in a duel.  Incredible.  To say the crowd went nuts is an understatement, of course.  And then he stuck around for a couple more numbers - but that duel went on for maybe 7-8 minutes(?).  A highlight. 

So..................just now, I happened upon this:

Dickey Betts' opinion of Bob Dylan (youtube.com)

I had no idea, but maybe I should have.  (BTW, I've been around Billie Joe Shaver some, too.  He's kinda a 'rougher' Guy Clark.)  (Also, btw.............you can probably skip the last third of so of that video.)

That's some good work, right there, but am having trouble finding all the musicians.  In fact, apparently that's Dylan himself on piano, but that's all I can find.  If anyone has this info, I'd like to see it.  I looked 'moderately' hard, but not nearly extensively.

Well, thanks, but that's not really any extra info - or not much. (But would have never guessed it was a take-off of a Carter Family song.) I'm particularly interested in knowing who the drummer was.  Sounds like Keltner, who I know has worked with Bobby in the past, but it also kinda sounds too 'punchy'(?).  Not to mention he's gotta be gettin' on in years. Super-good licks, whoever.  The overall sound has a very T-Bone Burnett feel to it.  Surely there's session info out there somewhere.

I was curious why you were corrected about the spelling of his name when the picture from the book posted above clearly says Recile. After a bit of digging (including the meandering discussion in discogs), it's pretty clear George doesn't care how it's spelled. At least, he's made no effort to correct the misspelling.

Update from an earlier post in an earlier thread - somewhere.........

In one of the several music threads, we were discussing SRV and his brother, Jimmie, and I related an incident in which a large banner advertising the Fabulous Thunderbirds 'somehow' found its way into my possession after their show.  At that time, I wasn't sure that that item still existed, but it does, and here it is.

I saw an interesting musical quite recently, “Girl from the North Country,” based on songs by Bob Dylan. I love live performance, and I'm a big fan of Dylan's songs, so I knew I'd be happy. 

From the beginning, it was clear that this musical was more about the songs than developing a solid story line, which was fine with me. The songs and the context of the plot were only loosely connected. However, the musical performances were outstanding. Lots of strong voices and some beautiful interpretations that often were a bit afield from Dylan's original recordings. In Act Two, the plot got more convoluted with some bizarre and undeveloped twists. For example, two of the women end up pregnant, one apparently by some sort of immaculate conception. I viewed the plot in much the same way as I view opera: you know that the female protagonist is going to die suddenly and tragically, and that's the only way you know the performance is ending. As long as the singing is good, who cares?

After the cast took their final bows, the audience was ushered out of the theater with The Birds' version of "My Back Pages." Seemed appropriate.
