What a beautiful piece, Tom. As the country devolves into chaos, cruelty, and corruption at the whim of a demented wannabe king, it's important that we remember those whose work embraced love and inclusiveness, not hate.
Great writing Tom, and your story was told with immense suspicion of who the kid "Bobby" really was. I believe this was done intentionally. Nevertheless, one can only derive in hopes that it was Dylan. At least, that is what I'd love to believe who the kid was. Thank you for writing this.
That was devastatingly beautiful. You didn’t just write about Woody—you wrote about what it means to carry someone’s sound in your bones. I felt the heartbreak, but also the hope. This piece really touches the soul Tom…thanks for that!
What a beautiful story, Tom! I kept thinking Bob all along.....on some alternate plane this story's continuing! I'm sure it is! You have quite a talent!

Thank you Shelby. Things are so difficult right now, I wanted to write something that said love still matters.
You did it beautifully.
like to comment but Ms. Shelby has spoken my heart.
It's been too long since such was what we wrote and talked about, looking for thwe love and the good in others.
I'm speechless, Tom. This is a masterpiece.
Thank you Jil!!

I read this with tears running down my face. It's a beautiful story of love, loss and responsibility for the future through that love . Thank you🫂

Would love to know Bob has read it too!
Evocative. Something to sit with and absorb and feel. A timely and gentle yet powerful reminder. Thank you.
