Mostly, it played Bob Dylan. Tracks from The Basement Tapes and Desire became an important part of our new life. My brother and I, aged 8 and 10, climbed trees, built hideaways and learned the words of Clothes Line Saga. We would chant over the, lost in our own joy. It was January when my dad left us forever because of the cancer. He was 36 going on 37 then, the same age as Dylan.
