  72 <span class="date">Jan 18 2010:</span>
  73 I had left out a line from the beginning of the  verse in the tab of <a
  74 href="34_bootleg/suze_the_cough_song.htm">Suze</a>. Corrected, and cleaned out some unnecessarily detailed stuff.
  75 </p>
  76 <p>
  77 <span class="date">Jan 14 2010:</span>
  78 I refused to do it for quite a while, but all of a sudden there didn&rsquo;t
  79 seem to be any reason not to do it, and besides it might come in handy for the
  80 upcoming fingerpicking installment of my series of guitar lessons, so here it
  81 is: one of the most frequently requested items: the full tab of <a
  82 href="34_bootleg/suze_the_cough_song.htm">Suze (The Cough Song)</a>.<br />
  83 I&rsquo;ve also added small bits of tab to <a
  84 href="02_freewheelin/corrina_corrina.htm">Corrina, Corrina</a> and <a
  85 href="05_biabh/love_minus_zero.htm">Love minus Zero/No Limit</a>, perhaps some
  86 other songs too, that I&rsquo;ve forgotten about.
  87 <p>
  88 <span class="date">Dec 10:</span>
  89 CitH is fairly complete now. As an
  90 experiment, I&rsquo;ve placed the chord charts in a fixed box to the
  91 right, so that they are visible all the time. <a href="mail.htm">Let me
  92     know</a> what you think about it: is it of any help, or just annoying?<br />
  93 I&rsquo;ve fixed the stylsheet for printing so that the chordbox is
  94 printed in the ordinary location. </p>
  95
  96 <p><span class="date">Dec 7:</span> It&rsquo;s soon
  97 Christmas, and I&rsquo;ve
  98 started making <a href="48_cith/index.html">my Christmas gifts</a>. I
  99 haven&rsquo;t proofread them yet, so consider them as sneak-peeks. If you
 100 spot errors, please </p>
 101 <a><span class="date">Sept 17:</span> <a
 102 href="47_ttl/index.html">Done &hellip;</a></p>
 103
 104 <p><span class="date">June 8:</span> I know I shouldn't do this while I still
 105 have songs left on TTL, but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, and I had
 106 to do it: There are some hauntingly beautiful songs on Johnny Cash's latest
 107 (it's too early to say "last" yet &ndash; he may be dead, but he&rsquo;s not
 108 gone), <em>American Recordings V: A Hundred Highways</em> (2006), such as <a
 109 href="others/cash_if-you-could.html">If You Could Read My Mind</a> and
 110 <a href="others/cash_loves-been-good-to-me.html">Love&rsquo;s Been Good to
 111 Me</a>.
 112
 113 <p><span class="date">May 29:</span>
 114     As some of you may have noticed, I've started working on the songs
 115     from <em>Together Through Life</em>. Additionally, I started cleaning
 116     up my request list, so here are two old gems: <a
 117     href="00_misc/ballad-of-the-gliding-swan.html">Ballad of the Gliding
 118 Swan</a> from <em>Madhouse on Castle Street</em> (1962) and <a
 119 href="00_misc/remember_me_when_the_candle_lights.html">Remember me (When
 120 the Candle Lights are Gleaming).</a></p>
 121
 122     <p><span class="date">March 28:</span> For the Norwegians out there: I
 123     always wanted to play Lillebj&oslash;rn Nilsen's <a
 124 href="others/lillebjorn_stilleste-gutt.html">Stilleste Gutt P&aring;
 125 Sovesal En</a>, since my cousins, who were a few years older than me and
 126 cool (hi, Hallvard! Hi, Birgit!), could play it. Now I can too (and so can
 127 my youngest son &ndash; hi, Bendik!).  </p>
 128
 129     <p><span class="date">March 19, 2009:</span> Updated <a
 130         href="36_wgw/lovehenry.htm" name="Love Henry">Love Henry</a>, <a
 131     href="36_wgw/world_gone_wrong.htm">World Gone Wrong</a> and some of
 132 the other songs on that album with more complete tabs. There is also a
 133 brand new <a href="36_wgw/index.htm">Introductory note to World Gone
 134 Wrong</a>.</p>
 135
 136 <!--    <p>I don't usually do this, but if someone has a decent-to-good video
 137 clip in digital form (a) of the grammy acceptance speech in 1991 and (b) of one
 138 of the sermons from the gospel tours, preferably one of the intros to Solid
 139 Rock, I'd be more than happy if you'd <a href="mail.htm">drop me a note</a>.
 140 </p>-->
 141     <p><strong>Reminder #1:</strong> There's more to this site than just
 142     the chords. Check out the <em><a
 143     href="professors/index.htm">professors</a></em> section, with the
 144     articles about Dylan and his music. Most of it is collected and nicely
 145     typeset (if I may say so) in a <a href="tt.pdf" name="Things Twice
 146     [pdf, 2 Mb]">pdf book</a>, but I have also prepared <em><a
 147     href="professors/index.htm">html versions</a></em> of the individual
 148     articles. <br />I can recommend the chapters about <a
 149     href="http://dylanchords.info/professors/tt/ttch13.html">the guitar
 150     playing on Don't Think Twice</a>, about the <a
 151     href="professors/tt/ttch6.html">&ldquo;mathematical music&rdquo; in
 152     <em>Chronicles</em></a>, and the discussion about <a
 153     href="professors/tt/ttpa4.html">plagiarism on <em>Modern
 154     Times</em></a> and the previous albums. And if you still have  time,
 155     or want a general overview over Dylan's musical carreer, that's what
 156     <a href="professors/tt/ttch11.html">The Uneven Heart</a> is meant to
 157     give.</p>
 158     <p><strong>Reminder #2:</strong> There's also the <a
 159         href="http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/index.php">blog</a>, with my
 160     <a href="http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/2009/02/cant-wait/"
 161     name="Can't Wait">Last words on &ldquo;Can&rsquo;t Wait&rdquo;</a>,
 162 and, ehem, a brilliant new piece about <a
 163 href="http://oestrem.com/thingstwice/2009/02/confessions-of-a-class-traitor/">a
 164 cursed class traitor</a> &hellip;</p> <p>I welcome <a
 165 href="mail.htm">comments</a>.</p>
 166     <p><span class="date">Feb 8 2009:</span> Some more <a
 167         href="46_bs8/index.htm"> Tell Tale</a> tabs: <a
 168     href="41_lat/mississippi.htm" name="Mississippi">Mississippi</a>, <a
 169 href="38_toom/cantwait.htm">Can&rsquo;t wait</a> in two versions that are
 170 musically quite different yet almost the same, and lyrically far superior
 171 to the version on <a href="38_toom/index.htm">Time Out Of Mind</a>.</p>
 172 <p><span class="date">Oct 12:</span> Finally some action. First of
 173     all, I got rid of that extra menu that used to be here to the right,
 174     which wasn't just ugly, it was also a disaster from a usability point
 175     of view. I was in the middle of some experimenting back when I decided
 176     to close down a couple of years ago, and when the site resurfaced,
 177     there was nobody there to clean up the mess.<br />That done, I did
 178     some tabbing. Slow and steady, a couple of tabs a day, no frenzy. <a
 179     href="46_bs8/index.htm">Tell Tale Signs</a>.</p> <p><span
 180 class="date">Oct 7:</span> Yeah, I know, there&rsquo;s a new album out but
 181 where are the chords? Sorry, folks, I've been too busy to have the all the
 182 chords ready for ya on release day  this time around. I promise you,
 183 though, they will all be here, eventually. Quite soon too. Quite a good
 184 album too.</p>
 185     <p><span class="date">June 14:</span> The <a href="chordszip.htm">zip
 186         file</a> has been updated, and so has <a
 187     href="http://www.math.tu-dresden.de/~kuettler/seal/">Seal</a>, which
 188 should now work well even on Windows.</p>
