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