Probably only fans of The Band and Dylan will...

Post by JS »

Probably only fans of The Band and Dylan will have any idea why I did this, but on my way downstate to Woodstock NY for a poetry reading, I swung through West Saugerties to see if I could find Big Pink, the house where they rehearsed and recorded. So here, poorly photographed, and up a gratifyingly small hillside road, it is:

A shrine.

The Basement Tapes were recorded there...

I would have to at least touch the house if I were there.

Loved and thought himself beloved,
From a glad kindness cannot take his eyes.

I have this sudden desire to release a project and call it The Debasement Tapes.

I wonder who lives there now and what they make of it all.

I wouldn't be surprised if they get periodic requests from passers by to be shown the basement.

Cool! Just this morning there was a picture of a local 50s/60s rock and roll band in the newspaper with Garth Hudson holding a tenor sax. Well.. they said it was Hudson. You certainly couldn't tell by looking.

IIRC Hudson did the sax on Tears of Rage. Actually, there's a whole <A HREF="http://www.garthhudson.com/">Garth Hudson web site</A> with biography etc.

If I'm not mistaken, that's asbestos siding--I don't think it's made to be painted.
