** Smiles
------------------------------------------------------------
I love Bob Dylan covers. I came across one that is particularly heart felt and well executed by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki1MSGQ0tkM&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=af21527315-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_28_03_20&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-af21527315-145367789) . It just made me smile.
But wait, there’s more. From the same show, the Crowes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-NZKPGKles&utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=af21527315-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_06_28_03_20&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-af21527315-145367789 ) doing a fantastic Delaney and Bonnie medley—which really has me grinnin’.
