Wow, @bill_fe outstanding choice! Congrats on your win, too. Not sure I'll be able to pull something off for this fabulous song choice, life is pretty hectic right now, but I'm sure looking forward to seeing the entries!

Thanks

@bill_fe Wonderful choice Bill!! Truly challenging, I might add! Bob Dylan's lyrics are amazing, and we could have challenges with his songs forever! I'll see what I can do with this one....happy moving, BTW.

I don't know this song. Hard to come up with something when you don't know the song.

@homeschoolmom Hi Lisa, there's a link to the lyrics above. You probably know the song, but the song title is confusing, it's never used in the song.
Here's another link (I hope): http://www.bobdylan.com/us/songs/subterranean-homesick-blues

I love Bob Dylan and I am familiar with this song! (That doesn't mean it will be an easy one to illustrate....) I have my thinking cap on and hope to come up with a photo (or 2).

@mlulu191 Nice one Megan

I've been so out of the discussion boards lately, I missed this. I was raised on this song. I should try to do something with this.
March 15th, 2014
@stephomy Please do Steph
March 15th, 2014
@bill_fe I'm already working on something that will totally fit with my Alley theme this month.
March 15th, 2014
Here it is. You like it?

March 15th, 2014
@stephomy Thanks for playing Steph. You sure did a great job of imitating the video.
March 15th, 2014
I made a gif too for fun...

March 15th, 2014
@stephomy That is just too cool! Absolutely love it.
March 16th, 2014
@bill_fe thanks. gifs are getting less confusing for me to do, but there's so many steps.
March 17th, 2014
@stephomy More than I can claim. I would just have done a short video. I could probably call my buddy Google and find out how to do them, but spare time is very limited right now.Will be until I'm settled in at the new apartment.
