Shear genius

SHEAR GENIUS

During one of his British tours, Bob Dylan visited Cornwall and was fascinated by the simple lifestyle of the shepherds on Bodmin Moor and the way one shepherd - a certain Evan Trevithick - with a simple call to his dog could round up the sheep that were grazing all over the place.

He would later immortalise the memory in the song 'Flocking on Evan's Tor'.
