City site hosted Dylan's rehearsal
By John W. Barry
Poughkeepsie Journal
Music icon Bob Dylan spent four days at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House in Poughkeepsie last week, privately rehearsing and writing music for an album he is set to record this week in Manhattan.
Bardavon Executive Director Chris Silva said Dylan and his band played on the stage Tuesday through Friday. Dylan worked without a break for 4-5 hours each day.
"I think that's a big deal for the area," said Wasyl Bozydaj, owner of Black Creek Guitars in New Paltz.
Silva said Dylan was enthusiastic about returning for a concert. The ex-Woodstock resident played twice in Dutchess County in 2004.
Dylan and five musicians played new music last week.
"It was experimental, all kinds of different licks," said Silva, who watched the sessions. "They would get into one thing and they would go over it and over it, then they would change gears."
Dylan and the band members didn't ask for anything beyond technical support and some take-out menus. But Silva decided to put out the fruits, vegetables and yogurt Dylan usually requires backstage when he performs.
Silva has been trying for 12 years to get him to play at the Bardavon. But more than setting the stage for a concert, last week's sessions could intertwine the Bardavon with Dylan's legacy.
"For him to be in our space, creating work that then will be recorded ... whenever I play that CD, which will be out in the next few months, I'll know some aspect of that was created in the Bardavon," Silva said.

Yeah, Ray is a good guy. Brian Wilson on the other hand.........Ehhhhh. It's hard for me to take a guy seriously who uses directions to his house for lyrics. |

Brian Wilson recently done a christmas album, that would make him a 60's act gone bad.
Nut he also released 'SMiLE' in 2004, that makes him relevant. We'll see what 2006 will bring for him. But yeah, Davies has it together and so does Dylan.

I'd include Ray Davies in the list of 60's icons that are still relevant. His new stuff is great.

My fave among his recent releases is "Time out of Mind".
"Million Miles"... beautiful
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink
Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
Feel like talking to somebody but I just don't know who
I'm tryin' to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
and "Not Dark Yet"...
and that f***ing bass line on "Cold Irons Bound"...
Bobbie's not dead, I tell ya.
