If You Could Feed My Mind
“Bob Dylan observed that when he heard a Lightfoot song he wished "it would last forever". -- excerpted from Wikipedia
Bob Dylan reportedly said,
“When Lightfoot gets into my head,
I want him to stay there
On perpetual play there,
And continue ‘til after I’m dead.”

August Wilhelm Ambros (17 November 1816 – 28 June 1876) was an Austrian music historian and composer.
Founding Parent
When August Wilhelm Ambros wrote
His densely researched tracts,
His readers never heard a note
Amidst the learned facts.
And thus, presenting knowledge, he
Set a course for those
Pursuing musicology
In the spirit of Ambros.
He satisfied, without a doubt,
(This plucky pioneer)
The folks who wished to read about
What they’d never hear.
