Lest we forget that we were young once


I have a collection of well over 300 vinyl records and was excited to have delivered yesterday, an Ion turntable with USB connector so that I can put all my vinyls onto CD.

I , of course, got involved in listening to and reminiscing over old records.

I came across the collection of Bob Dylans , someone whose voice I never reckoned.I always thought that anyone else sang Dylan songs better than Dylan but he is a mean writer of lyrics.

Couldnt resist printing some lyrics , written in the sixties but still as relevant today.


Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon youll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Youd better start swimming or youll sink like a stone
For the times they are a changin.


Come senators and congressmen please heed the call
Dont stand in the doorway dont block up the hall
For he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled
The battle outside is raging
Itll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a changin


Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
Dont criticise what you cant understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly fading
Just get out of the new one if you cant lend a hand
For the times they are a changin


We all need reminding .Thankyou Bob.
