Yesterday, I listened to a 1977 concert by the Jerry Garcia Band that ended with Bob Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue". Largely because I loved Garcia's version, that was one of the first songs I learned when I started to play guitar in 1983. In fact, as I just checked, it was the final song of the Garcia Band show I saw at the Keystone Palo Alto on 20 July 1983, the day I had my first guitar lesson. Of course, I've always loved Dylan's lyrics, too—especially the line that yesterday reminded me once again of my mathematician father and my carpenter brother-in-law: "Some are mathematicians; some are carpenters' wives."
