  3. You know it's your fault I've just got off of youtube checking out all the great stuff there. Teaching a guy at work "Heart of Gold' on the trusty/rusty shop guitar... Was lucky enough to catch Neil in concert a couple of times in the 80's. The electronic music phase going into the Shocking Pinks era. Both times he opened the shows with a set of himself and guitar, playing the early stuff...great shows...wouldn't mind seeing him again. Have you ever checked out Dave Crosby's "If I could only remember my name" album? CSN&Y, people from Airplane, The Dead, and other folkies. Some neat guitar stuff on it. Now I'm gonna go see if i can figure out that "Needle and the damage done" lesson on the Tube...

    1. Nice to discover there's a musician's arrow to your quiver mate, I saw him on the Live Rust circus back in '80 [I think] and it was brilliant, would love to see him at the G.O.O and kill two musical birds with one stone . . . I'm aware of the album with all those 'droppers' on board but haven't had the pleasure, I'll get on the Pootube and suss it out Laz. Only too happy to help screw someone else's life over.
