Music – Nice song.
BD, your blowing my mind! Dude, after my tour of duty some of us decided to drop the hell out! We already knew there was a big rip-off somewhere. Our bet was a sneaky-pete (CIA) gopher-suckin', nut-numbing cracker named G. Hubert Bush-Wheat? Sound familiar, my cool friend! Will wonders e'er cease?
Hit NYC with a crash. Steven was then jamming with a blue-grass group in lower West Village, called Los Quatros v' en'toss (The Four-Winds cafe. Charlie Chan (5-sting banjo player) did the solo on Buffalo Springfield's soulful tune Bluebird?
Dude, earlier (65-66) West Village was cookin'. We were flat PO'd listening to pompous politico barf this country into their trite commie conspiracy. Time was ripe for music! We had great spirits then, trust my narly-arse. Beats ruled Greenwich Village ('57-'60). Allen Ginzberg was there in West Village. Met with him later in Fogtown over beans and rice in our freaky Fogtown ('67). Summer of Love is remembered today.
Play it again, Sam.
And this has to be one of my favorite songs by Graham Nash.
Crosby, Stills, and Nash - Our House

Hey MacR,do you like CS&N?lol.I do also,one of the best groups ever.The harmony's were incredible.
Yeah I do like them...lol.
I remember being very, very young and seeing them at the Dallas Pop Festival, which was after Woodstock. I got to see several bands that also turned out to be favorites of mine.
My Uncle, who took me to the show. Was amazed how I sat there and listened to the bands like, Santana, Led Zeppelins first time in the City. Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. But, I remember him talking about how mesmorized I was when CS&N hit the stage. I guess he knew then that I would play the guitar one day. For years he would talk about I was pretending to play the guitar while singing along with them.
If it was not for him, another Uncle, and then my Father. I would not be the all around musician I am today. It was these 3 who shaped me into the music lover that I am.
Good story MacR,but what i find most amazing is that you play also.Since i started posting songs on here i have found out that a lot of people on here play and that is so cool.No matter which side of the political fence you are on,music kind of eliminates some of the B.S of that,and i find that amongst musicians it is even easier to cross that bridge.Thanks.
Melodic harmony! Love the Group and also Young.
When i put up this song it was a tough choice,i mean like MacR,where do you start?This song was always one of my favorites though,maybe because of my Navy time and my love of the water,who knows,lol.
I was going to put up this version by Nash and Crosby,which i think is a better version but i didn't because it doesn't get right into the song.Some bbc footage of some Nash dialogue before they start..incedible,see what you think of this version,it is well worth listening to again,tell me what you think..David Crosby and Grahm Nash doing "The Lee Shore" live on a BBC telecast..
Can you imagine what it was like in the studio when they were recording these songs. Seriously, they had just formed and they had all this material to use. I swear the kids now really do not understand what it meant to be a true musician and singer. To be able to go into the studio and put out a album in a matter of days. Days I am telling you. And the production was amazing.
personally i think the production was better than today.The equipment was analog of coarse and it was TAPE.No computer cut and paste(which i hate),just good tape saturation and nice warm tubes.Now days if i can play the verse,chorus,whatever, good once then i have my part down.
These guys would go into a studio with there ideas and just start playing,sometimes improvising as they went along,lol,and like you said,would come out in a few days with an album in the can.
The producers were genius's.They sometimes were as important in the writing process as the musicians,not to mention the fact that they had no script to follow,and they weren't afraid to try new techniques and equipment.Great stuff.
Well a lot of the bands could only afford an engineer for a couple of days. Most of these players sold their souls to the record exec's. But, a lot of them did their first album without the record exec's money.
This is why several of the best albums to be done, were done in a matter of days. And yeah producers were a lot more intuned into the music. So they made the music that much more powerfull.
A lot of people do not understand that a good album not only took great songs. But it took great producers and engineers to make that album. Even though there have been a lot of Producers for the artist. One Engineer stood among the rest. That was Eddie Kramer. That is why you found so many albums with his name on it.
Look at the Classics and you will see that Kramer was almost always on that album. And I can tell you this, Kramer did not come cheap. He had very little time, so his time was very vaulable.
I love their version better than Joni's. While she may have been the original writer and preformer of the song. CS&N made it their own. Steven Stills voice is so strong in this it is amazing.
While I am at it, Steven and David are very under-rated guitarists. They may have not been the wizards like, Hendrix or even as good as Mark Farner. Or had the ability to play the acoustic like Greg Lake or David Gilmore, nor could he match Gilmore's electric.
But they were able to pull off some chords that were used for instruments like the banjo or even the mandolin and used them on the guitar. It made a lot of guitar players say, WTF and how in the hell did you just do that? If you play the guitar, try using one of them chords, you will go, uh, no way I can do that. But we all know just a little practice will help.
You hit it.I am a firm believer that the players that are great are the ones that did it the way THEY knew how,not the way of the book.
One of the hardest songs i have ever had to learn was "Sweet Baby James",Jame Taylor.Not because of it being a really difficult song on the surface but because of the chords(i'm a rocker,lol..chords,what chords)and the phrasing.
Thanks everyone,good thread.Lots of good music.It is nice to know that when all the technology grinds to a halt that us propeller heads can get together and jam,we still have music no matter what.
