Guided by prompts from WDC blogging challenges... and of course, life |
HI! I'm Jenn - and I'm all over the place (well, at least my mind is). In this blog, I have attempted to gather my thoughts on things prompted/inspired by WDC blogging challenges from "Journalistic Intentions"  , "The Soundtrack of Your Life" , "Blogging Circle of Friends " , "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" and, well, LIFE.    |
2/11/22 I woke today, still stuck on Dylan songs (this time it was Blowin' in the Wind). But instead of putting another Dylan song here today, I decided to go with the super-band that Dylan was a part of, The Traveling Wilburys. The Traveling Wilburys were a blend of American and British superstars Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison. The idea to make this band was conceived from a conversation Harrison and Lynne had during the making of Harrison's 1987 album Cloud Nine. It actually came to fruition the following year when the five stars got together to record Handle With Care, a bonus track for Harrison's upcoming single. The five agreed to record a full album, Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 in mid 1988, after Handle With Care was deemed to be too good to be released in such a limited fashion. When Roy Orbison died in December 1988, the group released their second and final album titled Traveling Wilburys Volume 3 which came out in 1990.   More factual tidbits for your reading pleasure: * The release of the first album had a positive effect in revitalizing both Dylan's and Petty's careers * The album Traveling Wilburys Volume 1 won the Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group in 1990 * The band members each adopted pseudonyms as half-brothers from the fictional family of travelling musicians The Wilburys * After several years of unavailability, the two albums were reissued by the Harrison estate in the 2007 box set The Traveling Wilburys Collection, which included a DVD containing their music videos and a documentary on the formation of the band. * The Handle With Care music video contains photos of the stars in their formative years * The music video for End of the Line is a tribute to the late, great Roy Orbison - a rocking chair holding nothing but Orbison's guitar and a photo of him on the table So, which song did choose as today's musical entree? End of the Line is my choice. The song is upbeat and uplifting. It has helped me get through the worst of days over the last few years with its message of "It's all right." |

Glad you're OK.
You're so right, they are definitely perceptive. They know when you need extra attention, and they know when to keep an eye out for you. They are definitely a blessing from God.
