3) the evening ended, naturally, with a short set of Dylan tunes from Frisell on solo guitar, his words from the Q&A still fresh in the mind ("I'm trying to sing through my guitar"), not to mention just seeing Dylan play his music right before. Hard Rain and Times They Are a Changin and Just Like a Woman and maybe one or two more. Sparse and beautiful and purely Frisellian, perfect in every way.
Fascinating to put the three together and think about the lives well lived of a great song: the writing, the playing, the reinventing, and then someone else taking it and re-envisioning it completely, collaboration with your former self and the world at large over a lifetime and beyond.
Will be thinking about last night for a while, a special one...

2) then the director of the Dylan Center brings out Bill Frisell for a short discussion that managed to cover as much ground as the live footage.
Absolute treat listening to Frisell talk about his history with Dylan and weave that into his musical background and upbringing more generally, eventually dropping some deep wisdom about music and his approach to playing that had me even tearier. Bill speaks like he plays guitar, fuzzy improvisation that reveals incredible depth in surprising ways.
Tried to write down some of the best bits, but my memory is shit.
