I enjoyed your podcast. I attended 2019, but not 2023. I made a trip to Tulsa in July 2022 to see the Dylan Center since I knew it would be crowded during The World of Bob Dylan 2023. Do you think a future conference should be held in a larger city? What do you think of a Fan Fest in addition to an academic conference? This would include trivia contests, cover bands, sales of recordings, etc. It would be similar to the Beatlesfest that is held twice a year in NYC and Chicago.
I agree wholeheartedly with Nina Goss regarding Switchyard mashup.

It would be an interesting and compelling blend to merge an academic conference with a fan fest. I love it!
Well done, people. Here's my vid of Happy Traum doing "Farewell": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKwQwZJp8oY
