PEIZE, Netherlands, Dylan Service in the Church

      On 14 November 2021, a 'Bob Dylan special' celebration service was delivered in the small Dorpskerk (village church) in the village of Peize, near Groningen, Netherlands. It consisted of short explanations of the lyrics plus a quote from the Bible every time followed by a fitting Dylan song, performed by the minister, Piet Bolhuis, on vocals, guitar and harmonica, accompanied by a small seven-person choir. The songs were: Blowin' In The Wind, The Times They Are a-Changing, With God On Our Side, Only A Hobo, Let Me Die In My Footsteps, Death Is Not The End, Every Grain Of Sand, and Make You Feel My Love.

      Piet Bolhuis made a special booklet (below) for that service, given to the people attending the ceremony: it contains a short biography of Bob Dylan, all the speeches, the lyrics of the songs and as an extra the translations of the lyrics into Dutch by Erik Bindervoet and Robbert-Jan Henkes. 10,5 x 30 cm, 24 pages.
