Song to Woody is one of my favorite Dylan songs. I love how honest and genuine and innocent it seems. I’ve moved quite a bit in the past few years and this song has meant a lot to me.
I decided to do a pretty simple cover of it about a year ago and never shared it. Here it is.
Song To Woody (Bob Dylan Cover)- Kiersten Holine

The recent Radiolab short about the universe is making me unable to sleep. So beyond fascinating. Go listen! Learn things.
I have! I saw him in 2002. He really didn’t sound that bad at that point. It was right after Love and Theft came out, which I really liked, and he played some great songs I didn’t think he would play (Girl From the North Country, Tombstone Blues, etc).
I saw him again in 2005 with Willie Nelson which was really rad. He sounded a lot worse and didn’t talk at all, BUT the music still sounded awesome ha. Willie sounded absolutely amazing too and seeing two musicians like that in one night was quite memorable (to say the least).
I seriously wish I would have been around to see Dylan in his prime, but being able to see such an iconic figure whose music means so damn much to me is something I’ll always be thankful for.
Looks like my protest song for the ONE Campaign was played on the #agit8 screen today at Tate Modern.
Cue a total loss of words. So honored and excited to support this cause.

It’s almost a bit vulnerable to list these songs (and there are a LOT), but I am thankful for them and to the artists that made them. These are the songs that made me want to be a musician.

that a pilot telling you it’s going to be a little bumpy for a few minutes means that you’re going to feel like your life is about to end for a few minutes.
