"Dylan Records Secret Session
Bob Dylan held a secret recording session in Dublin after his concerts
at The Point last weekend.
Dylan had a change of heart about flying out in his private jet after
the final curtain on Sunday night.
On returning to his hotel, Dylan locked himself away in his suite
working on the lyrics of a new song.
And later, he turned up at Dublin's Westland Studios to record the
track. His only request was for an uillean piper and the singer was in
the studio for less than two hours."
If this is true it's fantastic news. I'd love Dylan to capture
something now while he's on such hot form. Thanks for posting.

You think that's bad, wait til you hear Bob's 28 minute pipe solo! (I
got an advanced tape flown in this morning).
Here are the lyics, by the way:
IRISH LEPRECHAUN HOMESICK PRE-THANKSGIVING TWEEDLE DUM BLUES (COUGH
SONG)
I'm gonna play mah pipe, babe, all night long
Yeah, I'm gonna blow mah horn, sugar til the early Dublin morn.
I'm wate deep in the Irish mist
I'm soundin' like a railroad gate fog horn.
Winter time is comin' I'm gonna wrap my presents good
I said the leaves are filled with leprechauns
But I'm gonna wrap mah presents good
Don't give me no mo' uillean pipe solo trouble, honey
I already understood.
[ Dylan plays the uillean pipe for the remaining 21 minutes and 42
seconds before collapsing into coughing ]
Mr Jinx
Nah ... Roy Orbison and George Harrison would fight over the lead vocal
...
All those pipes and Dylan just kept noodling the same three notes over
and over
Lol.
Wait til you hear his 'up-piping'.
Mr Jinx
Or maybe I should say, "'Dylan be uillean"
