medjuck Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) I ordered the new Dylan cd from Sony so that I'd get a free cd with one of Dylan's XM radio shows. This "Theme Time Radio Show" is about baseball. At one point Dylan plays a song about Don Newcomb, then follows it by explaining how Sonny Rollins got "Newk" as a nickname. Then he plays Rollins's "Newk's Fadeaway". About a couple of minutes into the song it starts to fade but Dylan interrupts, saying "let's keep going". After a couple of minutes when it finally does fade out, Dylan says "That's Sonny Rollins with his big league sound, covering all the bases". Several years ago I went to see Jimmy Smith at an LA club. I thought I saw Sonny Rollins in the audience and pointed him out to my wife. Then Smith announced that there was a celebrity in the audience. Turns out the guy I thought was Sonny was Newcomb!

RDK Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I've been listening to Dylan's XM Theme Shows lately. You can download them as mp3s - links found here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Uhhh where exactly on the site do you find the programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Uhhh where exactly on the site do you find the programs? Sorry. Click on "Discussions," then go to the "Rare Recordings" forum and do a search for "Theme Shows." Not exactly legit downloads, I'm sure, but Dylan seems to look the other way at them. Heck, I found the ExpectingRain link from Bob's official site... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well if Dylan has to serve somebody it might as well be Sonny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I've downloaded all 18 episodes to my iPod. I've only listened to the first episode (Weather) so far, but I LOVED it. Really great stuff, both stuff I'd heard and some I'd never heard before (I'd heard Elvis doing "I Don't Care If The Sun Don't Shine," but I'd never heard Dean Martin doing it before). I'm really looking forward to hearing the rest. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find them. Hmm. Can't seem to get a direct link to the topic in question, but seek out one entitled "First 7 XM Links." What I did, after getting to the Discussion Forum, was do a search for "Theme Show," limiting the search to the Rare Recordings folder. Search works much like it does here. There are several pages of related links, most pointing to Rapidshare files containing mp3 or wma versions of the shows. "Baseball" is a bit harder to find now since it was included on a bonus CD released with some copies of Dylan's new album - so some of them pulled the mp3 copies.

On the left hand side of the page you'll see 'White Man Stew', click and shows 1 -18 are all archived with links. I didn't realise this until I'd spent aging searching for the shows one by one.

Alexander Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Yeah, I found that. I've been listening to the shows (I'm up to episode seven, I think) and they're AMAZING. Great stuff. And Dylan's patter is wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Dylan's patter is wonderful. Indeed. It's pure pleasure listening to his anecdotes and comments. It's also helping expand my horizons a bit into artists I previously either hadn't heard or ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Here's the link for this weeks show ' Musical Map' http://www.notdarkyet.de/00000096a90641a01/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejp626 Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 I suppose it is easier to download the archived shows, but BBC Radio 2 is picking up the Dylan show. Link here: Dylan on BBC 2 They say these are only available to UK listeners, but sometimes there are ways around these things. I'll probably listen to them "live" just for the experience.

RDK Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Bump to annnounce that Dylan has begun (well, a few weeks now) season two of his Theme Time Radio Hour shows. Great stuff! Just listened to him play Eric Dolphy followed by Howlin' Wolf followed by George Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
