I was a very good friend of Olof's and I worked closely with him when he first launched Olof's files/Still On the Road in the late 80s. This continued for the next 30 years and we also attended many Dylan concerts together over the years. I am very pleased to know that Olof's files now have a new home at Bobserve!
I remain forever grateful to Olof Björner for his scholarship. I have consulted his site weekly for The Dylan Hours broadcast since 2006. Thank you so much for preserving it.
Amazing! It's so gratifying to me as a lifelong fan of Dylan's music, to get glimpses into how much that appreciation of his work is shared by others like Olof and Daniel, and any others involved in this massive preservation of knowledge.
And to have it all be something non-commercial - just for the benefit of humanity, as I understand it - makes me doubly joyful.
Thank you for preserving and even elevating (via a transfer to database format) Olof's precious work. I look forward to continuing to reference it - with hopefully, many entries to come in 2025 and beyond, as we all continue to be inspired by Dylan's art.
Thanks for this. I traded a few emails with Olof back in the day, I was essentially proofing the work as I was going through it to make sure I had every tiny bit of music. He was a nice guy, I had no idea he'd died. What a legacy.
Before finding Olof, I had too much confusion. After finding Olof, I had a Bob direction home. Bless him and may he rest forever in peace. Thank you for picking up the baton, the sword, the pen, the legacy of this much loved scholar.
None of us could do what we do without Olof’s work. Great to see his legacy being preserved and continued.
This is fantastic, excellent news!!!
