Bob Zimmerman, Dylan, John Lennon - what's in a name?

I've got to hold my hand up and confess - two days ago I upset an American.
How you might ask? Well, I dared to point out on a blog that Bob Dylan took his stage name after our own Dylan Thomas. Oh dear, to even suggest that there was a creative genius before Mr Zimmerman who was apparently the only influence on everyone from The Beatles to The Cheeky Girls. There's more on our blog and plenty about Dylan and…

Hi Anne & Geoff

My exhibition 'The Life & Times of Dylan Thomas will be on display on 27th May at Llys Glas (old Swansea Police Station Swansea) with the perfomance taking place on stage at 7.30pm. The BBC Wales celebrity Chris Needs MBE will be playing the part of Dylan. I would love to see you there, bye for now Jeff

Hope you are both well. Look after that house. Had a friend who lived at the top of the hill above the park. They are beautiful houses.

Claudio Vincent Williams said… - Ok, Anne and Geoff, I know Mrs Roberts, she is Eluned Roberts de González, glad to read that you had a good time in Argentina, and especially in Patagonia, and thank you for your advice, and sure, I will go to Wales sometime and somehow. The exchange rate is not good for this country as it is about 1 Sterling Pound = 5 Argentine Pesos but this will not be an obstacle, and I will go to visit Dylan's birthplace too!. Hwyl!!
