                             INTRODUCTION

       After four years of extensive touring and recording Dylan takes a
  sabbatical year, performing only once with Joan Baez at the Peace Sunday 
  Rally.


  1.  CALENDAR

  January          Dylan once again joins Allen Ginsberg in the recording
                   studio. The resulting three tracks remain unreleased.

  March 15         Dylan is inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame and 
                   is interviewed by Jane Hansen. A short snippet is
                   broadcast by NBC-TV, March 15 and by ABC-TV:s 
                   "Good Morning America" on March 16.

  Spring           Dylan is alleged to have recorded with Al Kooper, 
                   Mick Taylor and Jack Bruce. Three new songs, possibly
                   from these sessions are copyrighted in June.
                   (see SONGS 1982 below).

  June 6           Dylan and Joan Baez perform at the anti-nuclear movement
                   event Peace Sunday Rally. 

  Summer           Dylan produces at least four songs for Clydie King at
                   Gold Star Studios in Los Angeles. A couple of years later
                   he tells Mikael Gilmore in an interview that "I've also got
                   a record with just me and Clydie King singing together and
                   it's great, but it doesn't fall into any category that the
                   record company knows how to deal with".

  December 22      Dylan visits Frank Zappa at his house and after playing
                   about a dozen songs for him, asks him to produce his
                   next album.
