[7] Yeah, they played on occasion on the ’74 “Reunion” tour.

All 3 of those are KEY Neil albums!

[6] especially if you’re among the stars who lives in Laurel Canyon!
Definitely a little creepy, and one of my favorite Neil tunes. “On The Beach” is one of his best albums. That, “Rust Never Sleeps,” and “Zuma” are the ones I go back to the most.

Didn’t know CSNY covered Revolution Blues.

[5] Yeah, couldn’t find the original release on youtube. That demo was on their box set, if I remember correctly.

As for CSNY…well, Neil sure did. Hey “Revolution Blues” may have been a solo track, but CSNY used to perform it live (and Crosby plays on the studio version). That’s a creepy song.

4) excellent funky ass rough cut, without harmonies. CSNY never wrote anything as delightfully creepy as this one either. I was definitely looking on the wrong shelf! oh, and very cool video there too, even if the images were too often repeated.

1) great stuff, but if he becomes a pull hitter, dictionaries will have to revise the definition of Jeterian.
2) I hummed it in my head a few times, ransacking the cluttered corridor of my brain where I keep random song fragments, but I couldn’t place it. The harmony had me rummaging through CSNY tunes.

Nice Steely Dan reference, Al.

Thanks, AB, you too. Here's an encouraging and interesting NYT article about Kevin Long's work with Jetes' swing. Very cool.
