  73 CitH is fairly complete now. As an
  74 experiment, I&rsquo;ve placed the chord charts in a fixed box to the
  75 right, so that they are visible all the time. <a href="mail.htm">Let me
  76     know</a> what you think about it: is it of any help, or just a
  77 nuisance?</p>
  78
  79 <p><span class="date">Dec 7:</span> It&rsquo;s soon
  80 Christmas, and I&rsquo;ve
  81 started making <a href="48_cith/index.html">my Christmas gifts</a>. I
  82 haven&rsquo;t proofread them yet, so consider them as sneak-peeks. If you
  83 spot errors, please </p>
  84 <a><span class="date">Sept 17:</span> <a
  85 href="47_ttl/index.html">Done &hellip;</a></p>
  86
  87 <p><span class="date">June 8:</span> I know I shouldn't do this while I still
  88 have songs left on TTL, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, and I had
  89 to do it: There are some hauntingly beautiful songs on Johnny Cash's latest
  90 (it's too early to say "last" yet &ndash; he may be dead, but he&rsquo;s not
  91 gone), <em>American Recordings V: A Hundred Highways</em> (2006), such as <a
  92 href="others/cash_if-you-could.html">If You Could Read My Mind</a> and
  93 <a href="others/cash_loves-been-good-to-me.html">Love&rsquo;s Been Good to
  94 Me</a>.
  95
  96 <p><span class="date">May 29:</span>
  97     As some of you may have noticed, I've started working on the songs
  98     from <em>Together Through Life</em>. Additionally, I started cleaning
  99     up my request list, so here are two old gems: <a
 100     href="00_misc/ballad-of-the-gliding-swan.html">Ballad of the Gliding
 101 Swan</a> from <em>Madhouse on Castle Street</em> (1962) and <a
 102 href="00_misc/remember_me_when_the_candle_lights.html">Remember me (When
 103 the Candle Lights are Gleaming).</a></p>
 104
 105     <p><span class="date">March 28:</span> For the Norwegians out there: I
 106     always wanted to play Lillebj&oslash;rn Nilsen's <a
 107 href="others/lillebjorn_stilleste-gutt.html">Stilleste Gutt P&aring;
 108 Sovesal En</a>, since my cousins, who were a few years older than me and
 109 cool (hi, Hallvard! Hi, Birgit!), could play it. Now I can too (and so can
 110 my youngest son &ndash; hi, Bendik!).  </p>
 111
 112     <p><span class="date">March 19, 2009:</span> Updated <a
 113         href="36_wgw/lovehenry.htm" name="Love Henry">Love Henry</a>, <a
 114     href="36_wgw/world_gone_wrong.htm">World Gone Wrong</a> and some of
 115 the other songs on that album with more complete tabs. There is also a
 116 brand new <a href="36_wgw/index.htm">Introductory note to World Gone
 117 Wrong</a>.</p>
 118
 119 <!--    <p>I don't usually do this, but if someone has a decent-to-good video
 120 clip in digital form (a) of the grammy acceptance speech in 1991 and (b) of one
 121 of the sermons from the gospel tours, preferably one of the intros to Solid
 122 Rock, I'd be more than happy if you'd <a href="mail.htm">drop me a note</a>.
 123 </p>-->
 124     <p><strong>Reminder #1:</strong> There's more to this site than just
 125     the chords. Check out the <em><a
 126     href="professors/index.htm">professors</a></em> section, with the
 127     articles about Dylan and his music. Most of it is collected and nicely
 128     typeset (if I may say so) in a <a href="tt.pdf" name="Things Twice
 129     [pdf, 2 Mb]">pdf book</a>, but I have also prepared <em><a
 130     href="professors/index.htm">html versions</a></em> of the individual
 131     articles. <br />I can recommend the chapters about <a
 132     href="http://dylanchords.info/professors/tt/ttch13.html">the guitar
 133     playing on Don't Think Twice</a>, about the <a
 134     href="professors/tt/ttch6.html">&ldquo;mathematical music&rdquo; in
 135     <em>Chronicles</em></a>, and the discussion about <a
 136     href="professors/tt/ttpa4.html">plagiarism on <em>Modern
 137     Times</em></a> and the previous albums. And if you still have  time,
 138     or want a general overview over Dylan's musical carreer, that's what
 139     <a href="professors/tt/ttch11.html">The Uneven Heart</a> is meant to
 140     give.</p>
 141     <p><strong>Reminder #2:</strong> There's also the <a
 142         href="http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/index.php">blog</a>, with my
 143     <a href="http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/2009/02/cant-wait/"
 144     name="Can't Wait">Last words on &ldquo;Can&rsquo;t Wait&rdquo;</a>,
 145 and, ehem, a brilliant new piece about <a
 146 href="http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/2009/02/confessions-of-a-class-traitor/">a
 147 cursed class traitor</a> &hellip;</p> <p>I welcome <a
 148 href="mail.htm">comments</a>.</p>
 149     <p><span class="date">Feb 8 2009:</span> Some more <a
 150         href="46_bs8/index.htm"> Tell Tale</a> tabs: <a
 151     href="41_lat/mississippi.htm" name="Mississippi">Mississippi</a>, <a
 152 href="38_toom/cantwait.htm">Can&rsquo;t wait</a> in two versions that are
 153 musically quite different yet almost the same, and lyrically far superior
 154 to the version on <a href="38_toom/index.htm">Time Out Of Mind</a>.</p>
 155 <p><span class="date">Oct 12:</span> Finally some action. First of
 156     all, I got rid of that extra menu that used to be here to the right,
 157     which wasn't just ugly, it was also a disaster from a usability point
 158     of view. I was in the middle of some experimenting back when I decided
 159     to close down a couple of years ago, and when the site resurfaced,
 160     there was nobody there to clean up the mess.<br />That done, I did
 161     some tabbing. Slow and steady, a couple of tabs a day, no frenzy. <a
 162     href="46_bs8/index.htm">Tell Tale Signs</a>.</p> <p><span
 163 class="date">Oct 7:</span> Yeah, I know, there&rsquo;s a new album out but
 164 where are the chords? Sorry, folks, I've been too busy to have the all the
 165 chords ready for ya on release day  this time around. I promise you,
 166 though, they will all be here, eventually. Quite soon too. Quite a good
 167 album too.</p>
 168     <p><span class="date">June 14:</span> The <a href="chordszip.htm">zip
 169         file</a> has been updated, and so has <a
 170     href="http://www.math.tu-dresden.de/~kuettler/seal/">Seal</a>, which
 171 should now work well even on Windows.</p>
