Blowin' In the Wind



I have a confession to make. Even though I "like" Dylan, I hate his most famous song, "Blowin' in the Wind." Well, I don't really hate the lyrics, I don't care for the traditional arrangement and haven't since I was a kid. Last fall when Matt took me to see Dylan, I found myself really enjoying Dylan's newest arrangement of the song. So much so, that I like listening to it now. Here, I'll share with you too:

wow - this really is cool! i remember singing it in elementary school - i grew up in the 70's. this last year i heard low's version and just loved it. i even shared it with my students a few months ago - not sure what connection it had to the curriculum, but i'm sure i made it fit! i think they might prefer this version.
