I was  watching a show about Bob Dylan and in it he stated that he could listen to a song once or twice and he could play it. Must be nice. Guessing he must have been at the  same “crossroads” R. Johnson visited.

He also said that when he made his first record he choose songs that wouldn’t give away any of his secrets.That didn’t make sense, but I guess at the time he was around a lot of guitar player trying to make In the music business. Anyway that seems like a fruitless endeavor. Been lucky to see him preform two times. Once was at a state fair when he was struggling. The next time was at Red Rocks when he was on his way back up. Not real sure if it was the same year Willie Nelson was also preforming at the fair.

The comment about this talent( of being able to hear a song just once and play it exactly with no mistakes ) is usually made about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart,  according to a music theory book I am currently reading... (Music Theory 101 by Brain Boone and Marc Shonbrun).  Although Bob Dylan  (born Robert Allen Zimmerman; May 24, 1941) was/is a brilliant musican, I have my doubts he is on the same plain as Mozart. Actually the atribution goes so far as to say MOZART could "listen to music just once and then write it down note for note from memory without any mistakes".
