  73 Two more early songs: <a href="00_misc/red-rosey-bush.html">Red Rosey Bush</a> from the Minnesota Party Tape (1961) and <a href="00_misc/train-a-travelin.html">Train A-Travelin'</a> from the Broadside Demo sessions (1963).
  74 </p>

  76 <p>As of today, visitors from ip-addresses in Israel are blocked from dylanchords. They will be met with the following:</p>
  77 <p class="quote"> As a contribution to a cultural boycott of the state of
  78 Israel&mdash;a long overdue reaction to the absurd inhumanity that is
  79 demonstrated in its actions and that goes against everything that I and
  80 this site stands for&mdash;access to dylanchords has been blocked for
  81 visitors from Israel.  </p>
  82
  83 <p class="quote"> If you think you have been blocked <em>incorrectly</em>,
  84 drop me a note, and I'll see what I can do.  </p>
  85
  86 <p class="quote"> If you think you have been blocked <em>unfairly</em>, there's nothing I can do about that.  </p>
  87
  88 <p class="quote">
  89 Just so that is mentioned: The boycott is not directed against individuals
  90 of Jewish descent or religion, but against the state of Israel and its actions.
  91 I feel sorry for those Israelis who have fallen victim to the aggression and violence in the
  92 area, no less and no more than I feel for the Palestinians in the same
  93 situation.
  94 </p>
  95
  96 <p>
  97 <span class="date">Jan 18 2010:</span>
  98 I had left out a line from the beginning of the  verse in the tab of <a
  99 href="34_bootleg/suze_the_cough_song.htm">Suze</a>. Corrected, and cleaned out some unnecessarily detailed stuff.
 100 </p>
 101 <p>
 102 <span class="date">Jan 14 2010:</span>
 103 I refused to do it for quite a while, but all of a sudden there didn&rsquo;t
 104 seem to be any reason not to do it, and besides it might come in handy for the
 105 upcoming fingerpicking installment of my series of guitar lessons, so here it
 106 is: one of the most frequently requested items: the full tab of <a
 107 href="34_bootleg/suze_the_cough_song.htm">Suze (The Cough Song)</a>.<br />
 108 I&rsquo;ve also added small bits of tab to <a
 109 href="02_freewheelin/corrina_corrina.htm">Corrina, Corrina</a> and <a
 110 href="05_biabh/love_minus_zero.htm">Love minus Zero/No Limit</a>, perhaps some
 111 other songs too, that I&rsquo;ve forgotten about.
 112 <p>
 113 <span class="date">Dec 10:</span>
 114 CitH is fairly complete now. As an
 115 experiment, I&rsquo;ve placed the chord charts in a fixed box to the
 116 right, so that they are visible all the time. <a href="mail.htm">Let me
 117     know</a> what you think about it: is it of any help, or just annoying?<br />
 118 I&rsquo;ve fixed the stylsheet for printing so that the chordbox is
 119 printed in the ordinary location. </p>
 120
 121 <p><span class="date">Dec 7:</span> It&rsquo;s soon
 122 Christmas, and I&rsquo;ve
 123 started making <a href="48_cith/index.html">my Christmas gifts</a>. I
 124 haven&rsquo;t proofread them yet, so consider them as sneak-peeks. If you
 125 spot errors, please </p>
 126 <a><span class="date">Sept 17:</span> <a
 127 href="47_ttl/index.html">Done &hellip;</a></p>
 128
 129 <p><span class="date">June 8:</span> I know I shouldn't do this while I still
 130 have songs left on TTL, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, and I had
 131 to do it: There are some hauntingly beautiful songs on Johnny Cash's latest
 132 (it's too early to say "last" yet &ndash; he may be dead, but he&rsquo;s not
 133 gone), <em>American Recordings V: A Hundred Highways</em> (2006), such as <a
 134 href="others/cash_if-you-could.html">If You Could Read My Mind</a> and
 135 <a href="others/cash_loves-been-good-to-me.html">Love&rsquo;s Been Good to
 136 Me</a>.
 137
 138 <p><span class="date">May 29:</span>
 139     As some of you may have noticed, I've started working on the songs
 140     from <em>Together Through Life</em>. Additionally, I started cleaning
 141     up my request list, so here are two old gems: <a
 142     href="00_misc/ballad-of-the-gliding-swan.html">Ballad of the Gliding
 143 Swan</a> from <em>Madhouse on Castle Street</em> (1962) and <a
 144 href="00_misc/remember_me_when_the_candle_lights.html">Remember me (When
 145 the Candle Lights are Gleaming).</a></p>
 146
 147     <p><span class="date">March 28:</span> For the Norwegians out there: I
 148     always wanted to play Lillebj&oslash;rn Nilsen's <a
 149 href="others/lillebjorn_stilleste-gutt.html">Stilleste Gutt P&aring;
 150 Sovesal En</a>, since my cousins, who were a few years older than me and
 151 cool (hi, Hallvard! Hi, Birgit!), could play it. Now I can too (and so can
 152 my youngest son &ndash; hi, Bendik!).  </p>
 153
 154     <p><span class="date">March 19, 2009:</span> Updated <a
 155         href="36_wgw/lovehenry.htm" name="Love Henry">Love Henry</a>, <a
 156     href="36_wgw/world_gone_wrong.htm">World Gone Wrong</a> and some of
 157 the other songs on that album with more complete tabs. There is also a
 158 brand new <a href="36_wgw/index.htm">Introductory note to World Gone
 159 Wrong</a>.</p>
 160
 161 <!--    <p>I don't usually do this, but if someone has a decent-to-good video
 162 clip in digital form (a) of the grammy acceptance speech in 1991 and (b) of one
 163 of the sermons from the gospel tours, preferably one of the intros to Solid
 164 Rock, I'd be more than happy if you'd <a href="mail.htm">drop me a note</a>.
 165 </p>-->
 166     <p><strong>Reminder #1:</strong> There's more to this site than just
 167     the chords. Check out the <em><a
 168     href="professors/index.htm">professors</a></em> section, with the
 169     articles about Dylan and his music. Most of it is collected and nicely
 170     typeset (if I may say so) in a <a href="tt.pdf" name="Things Twice
 171     [pdf, 2 Mb]">pdf book</a>, but I have also prepared <em><a
 172     href="professors/index.htm">html versions</a></em> of the individual
 173     articles. <br />I can recommend the chapters about <a
 174     href="http://dylanchords.info/professors/tt/ttch13.html">the guitar
 175     playing on Don't Think Twice</a>, about the <a
 176     href="professors/tt/ttch6.html">&ldquo;mathematical music&rdquo; in
 177     <em>Chronicles</em></a>, and the discussion about <a
 178     href="professors/tt/ttpa4.html">plagiarism on <em>Modern
 179     Times</em></a> and the previous albums. And if you still have  time,
 180     or want a general overview over Dylan's musical carreer, that's what
 181     <a href="professors/tt/ttch11.html">The Uneven Heart</a> is meant to
 182     give.</p>
 183     <p><strong>Reminder #2:</strong> There's also the <a
 184         href="http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/index.php">blog</a>, with my
 185     <a href="http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/2009/02/cant-wait/"
 186     name="Can't Wait">Last words on &ldquo;Can&rsquo;t Wait&rdquo;</a>,
 187 and, ehem, a brilliant new piece about <a
 188 href="http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/2009/02/confessions-of-a-class-traitor/">a
 189 cursed class traitor</a> &hellip;</p> <p>I welcome <a
 190 href="mail.htm">comments</a>.</p>
 191     <p><span class="date">Feb 8 2009:</span> Some more <a
 192         href="46_bs8/index.htm"> Tell Tale</a> tabs: <a
 193     href="41_lat/mississippi.htm" name="Mississippi">Mississippi</a>, <a
 194 href="38_toom/cantwait.htm">Can&rsquo;t wait</a> in two versions that are
 195 musically quite different yet almost the same, and lyrically far superior
 196 to the version on <a href="38_toom/index.htm">Time Out Of Mind</a>.</p>
 197 <p><span class="date">Oct 12:</span> Finally some action. First of
 198     all, I got rid of that extra menu that used to be here to the right,
 199     which wasn't just ugly, it was also a disaster from a usability point
 200     of view. I was in the middle of some experimenting back when I decided
 201     to close down a couple of years ago, and when the site resurfaced,
 202     there was nobody there to clean up the mess.<br />That done, I did
 203     some tabbing. Slow and steady, a couple of tabs a day, no frenzy. <a
 204     href="46_bs8/index.htm">Tell Tale Signs</a>.</p> <p><span
 205 class="date">Oct 7:</span> Yeah, I know, there&rsquo;s a new album out but
 206 where are the chords? Sorry, folks, I've been too busy to have the all the
 207 chords ready for ya on release day  this time around. I promise you,
 208 though, they will all be here, eventually. Quite soon too. Quite a good
 209 album too.</p>
 210     <p><span class="date">June 14:</span> The <a href="chordszip.htm">zip
 211         file</a> has been updated, and so has <a
