Expecting Rain

What is it supposed to be? It's apparently the same every time, pretty much.
It's not particularly good or interesting. But it struck me when listening to the
last uploaded show, that it occasionally echoes All Along the Watchtower. Is
that the strategy? A recurring theme to wrap it up with AAtW? It's too vague.
Like something a hobby guitarist might noodle in his couch while daydreaming
about something else, with dreamy sus-chords. But since it is used again and
again I suppose there is some thought behind it?

It's just supposed to sound vaguely Dylan-y, I think.

Stu has a Stetson and a badge and his name is Gunner Dillon, and the trail began in Buffalo.

stop insulting a great musician.

That's what I've been thinking too. It's the moment of the show that sounds the most what people are expecting Bob Dylan to sound like and it's the only moment in the show like that. I think it's all a big joke. It's sort of the musical equivalent of Santos' old "voice of the 60's counterculture" spiel

If "Stu's Noodle" was all we had to judge the great musician from I'd probably feel like I was insulting him. I doubt he perceives "Stu's Noodle" as his great achievement or something.

Well, since it's the same thing every night, it's clearly not noodleing (ie. improvisation), the question is just whether it's actually an old song or a part of a song we fail to identify or just a work-in progress from Stu

Many of the 1990 shows started with a short instrumental, many well-known, but some still unidentified to this day. This could be the modern day equivalent. It'll be gone soon enough.

If I had a nickle for every time Ms. Capecod has said, "They're noodling again!" in reference to a Grateful Dead or Furthur show we'd be at or listening to, I'd have a lot of nickles.

Please, don't anybody tell her Stu is a noodler now.

Can we please stop talking about Stu's noodle?

One of the lines in the "noodle" is a progression from All Along the Watchtower.

Ever notice that the noodle was a little different every night until this leg?
Even the noodle it static now.

I think there's gonna be a change soon.

Can't go on like this.

The noodle might be the barometer.

Yes, as I said.



YES!

static is another brutish term. taking the yacht out through by the craggy sandbar with that seagull colony with the stray cormorant they adopted ain't so static a lifestyle if you ask me

It's not a noodle - it's a solo guitar recital by Maestro Stuart Kimball.

How about non-dynamic then? Although that sounds negative. I like it, don't get me wrong.
Way better than: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the poet laureate of rock 'n' roll. The voice of the promise of the 60s counterculture. The guy who forced folk into bed with rock. Who donned makeup in the 70s and disappeared into a haze of substance abuse. Who emerged to find Jesus. Who was written off as a has-been by the end of the '80s, and who suddenly shifted gears releasing some of the strongest music of his career beginning in the late '90s. Ladies and gentlemen..., Columbia recording artist Bob Dylan!

I hoped this thread was about food

i'm hungry.

Yes, but this is about "Stu's Noodle" in singular and not "Stu's Noodles". Suddenly, aghast, I pray that we don't get down to "Stu's Noodle".

As this is a site dedicated to the music of Bob Dylan, his music, and his influence, its highly unlikely anyone would bother discussing Stu if he weren't in Bob's band... much less his noodle/noodling.

We'd be discussing someone else's noodle.
Duke's noodle?

Bobs noodle.
Bobs never-ending noodle.

Perpetual Pasta.

This thing did start out as an electric noodle though.
What was the first noodle intro? Where and when?
I'm losing track in a blur of awesome Bobness.
2012...

investigating now trying to find out when he dropped the Poet laureate business:

i'm thinking it was in South America. The last big change before GrandBob. But, it may have been with grand bob. so it's looking like way back in 2012.

sorry that's the dropping of the intro text.

if noodling didn't begin in the Europe summer tour, than it certainly started in the states by August.
