A Million $ Bash Roundtable
In this latest episode of the Million $ Bash roundtable, the gang takes on the Dylan songs they think deserve greater attention and recognition. Will sparks fly? Will inspiration flare? Well, there is only one way to find out!
We assembled our regular panelists for this roundtable, but when Nina Goss tried to join us, she ran into technical difficulty and offered only a ghost-like appearance. We missed her voice on the program, but she did get one word in, and that is alright.
