Notes:
I'm finally caught up after the Thanksgiving holiday...  I didn't even realize I had six versions of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," and 41 minutes of the same singer singing the same song six different ways was actually kind of annoying, and I'm a big Dylan fan.
Some favorites from the day:
  • "Hammer to Fall" by Queen
  • "Handbags and Gladrags" by Rod Stewart
  • "Handle With Care" by The Traveling Wilburys
  • "Hannah" by Ray LaMontagne
  • "Happiness is a Warm Gun" by The Beatles
  • "Happy Jack" by The Who
I have to further note that it was nice to hear "Handle With Care" today, as well as a cut from The Concert for Bangladesh, since today was the ninth anniversary of the passing of George Harrison.  All things must pass...
