The Paul James Band gets a new guitar player for one night only - FLAGGIN' DOWN THE DOUBLE Es | BOB DYLAN

 PAUL JAMES

Paul James' hitchhiker from Vancouver sits in . . . . . 


Another totally extraordinary interview with Flaggin Down The Double Es as Bob Dylan guests and vice versa!

The stack says:

Paul James has sat in with Bob Dylan so many times he can’t remember them all. He’d just show up to a Dylan show and, often as not, get called onstage. He never knew it would happen in advance, and never had time to prepare. 

Their relationship started, though, not with him sitting in with Bob, but with Bob sitting in with him. In 1986, Dylan was filming the movie Hearts of Fire around Paul’s home base of Toronto. Paul gigged constantly then, shlepping all around Canada. And at one night’s show at a bar in Toronto, he gained a very unexpected new guitar player. . . . . . . .
