I have posted these before. They’re from the Woody Guthrie Tribute Concert. Bob Dylan, backed by the guys who would become the Band, played three loud versions of Guthrie songs. The performances are great. The Band was young and healthy.
The recording quality is not great. A deluxe version of the recordings of the two tribute concerts was released six years ago.

American audiences were not aware of him until Tokyo Story (1953) was released here in 1972. It’s the best of his films that I have seen and is regarded by critics as his finest too but there are many other good films he directed.
Tokyo Story and other Ozu films are available on discs from the Criterion Collection.

Jackson Holliday will be in the majors sometime in 2024, maybe even on opening day. I think he’ll play second base with Henderson at short
Samuel Basallo could make it to the majors this year. He is only 19. I think he could catch some to give Rutschman a rest and also DH.
Coby Mayo, to me, is the third untradeable prospect. He should be in the majors in 2024 playing some 3rd base, 1st base and DHing.
