1. Great book and author. I found Hesse wandering the local public library and he became a favorite

author to this day, a half century plus later.

2. Read Hesse in high school, Siddartha and Steppenwolf

My formal exposure to Buddhism came much later.

Something in my eye.

3. I read Siddhartha and Narcissus and Goldmund in high school.

Similar plots but both enjoyable.

4. My son and my soon to be daughter-in-law introduced us to Jesse Wells a while ago

I really enjoy listening him in installments rather than binging. His poetry needs to be slowly digested to really appreciate his work.

5. Couldn't help it

I never thought I'd hear the likes of it again.

You are, of course, right.

6. He's prolific so you should to pace yourself

7. Kind of like Dylan

Except that to compare him to anyone who came before would be an injustice.

He is totally himself.

8. He's a LOT like Dylan, but he isn't imitating Dylan, not at all

It’s obvious the two poets have traveled the same roads.

9. I agree

.The guitar in this song floored me.

And the lyrics, my God ...

"There's a man in a yellow cloak

He knows something I don't know"
