Thank you for giving me the most content I've ever had on Bob and golf, a very small Venn diagram I imagine of my two passions. Wonderful work as always and much appreciated. Have fun tomorrow Ray!

I was an assistant engineer at A&M studios in the 80s and worked on We Are the World. I have a great picture of Willie and Bob talking, with me in the background. I’d like to get a copy of it to you. How can I do that?

I'd never heard, or heard of, the Bob/Willie song Heartland before this, so I bought the cd of the Willie album Across The Borderline and i'm thoroughly delighted with it, what a great record. Thanks Ray!

Thanks for the research. I’ll see this tour end of the month, and hearing either one of them sing what was it you wanted would be so cool. A duet of it feels too good to hope for. Or Poncho and Lefty. Starting to get excited. Thanks.

Can’t wait for the show tomorrow. I will be surprised if Willie joins Bob or vice versa. I better bone up on Rough and Rowdy as I haven’t gotten into that much lately. Also curious if the venue is going to use their video screens for Bob’s set.

I saw the Milk Cow Blues at Ripken Stadium. It was POURING and still great fun. I’ll see what happens in Charlotte on Saturday!

Weird. I could’ve sworn that Dylan brought on Jody and maybe Lukas to do Milk Cow Blues at the 2005 Montclair show. It’s not on the setlist, though. I 100% remember them doing that song and being disappointed; I guess it’s possible it was during Willie’s set, although I could’ve sworn Bob opened and it was daylight when Dylan was on. I remember him playing New Morning in the bright sunshine.
