The answer, my friend, is Blowin’ in the Wind. I should really have recorded myself playing the song, but I didn’t think of it in time. Here is a cover of it by a woman on youtube who does it better than he does (but I wish she‘d pull a few less faces!):

That’s the general story. Dylan is an astonishing and incredibly important songwriter, but an awful performer: his songs are almost always done better by other people (rather like The Beatles in fact). Just look at this clip of him from 1986 accompanied by the really rather good Tom Petty band:

He’s terrible! The band would have been far better without him. He actually makes them sound bad.
The only reason I have for posting this is that the wind has finally died down. It’s after-effects can be seen in the picture above (click on it to make it bigger). The sand has piled up on the windward side of the groyne, whilst there is a gap on the leeward side.
Cheers, Tom.

Went to see Dylan in Bournemouth a few years back and honestly couldn't hear a word of his songs...the acoustics in the hall were dreadful - have since been redone - and he croaked, but there were songs that his individual style of singing really suited and when his voice was less gravelly...like Tom Waits and Beefheart who aren't the best of vocalists, but they're delivery is so uniquely theirs, they're very special...Dylan, in my opinion, is the same...I do think though that the adoration given him is rather over the top...
My hubby thinks he's the bee's knees...loves him and his songs...BTW the concert we went to was still pretty damned good...just tedious not being able to hear the words at the time...great big hugs...
