    Just heard the passing of David Crosby. As a young black man who grew up with Motown, so glad I had opened minded friends who also dug CSNY,Zeppelin, The Stones, Yes, Pink Floyd and great 70's bands. Turning 72 this weekend. Rock on!

    I told him " I played ""Wooden Ships "" last night on my guitar."
    He said " Man! Nobody plays that song anymore! "

    Last week I visited Nashville, TN. I was fortunate enough to see Graham Nash at the Country Music Auditorium! He was wonderfully right on target with every CSNY song he sang. He also shared intimate stories of the experiences he had from being in the band The Hollys. He is 80 years young. It was another highlight of my life. Thank you so much for over 50 years of magical music.

My first records were Edith Piaf, Eartha Kitt, Yma Sumac, Chopin, Burl Ives, Bach, Tom Lehrer, Papa Celestin, then it was Irma Thomas, Allen Toussaint, the Meters, Professor Longhair, Dr. John, Ernie K-Doe, Fats Domino…that was my foundation.

    In an interview, one member of the band said that Stills played just about all the instruments on this album. The soul is profound! Pure genius, with inimitable solos woven throughout. The harmonies rival a medieval Gregorian choir in their ability to evoke a religious feeling. And, as has been said, timeless. The theme of the song, post-nuclear apocalypse, also speaks to what I believe is a root cause of the youth rebellion of the sixties, fear of annihilation by their elders' folly, and a wish to recover sanity. That menace, of nuclear-tipped missiles, still hangs over us all today, and this song thus holds its meaning.

    • @glennmcgeoch6648
      @glennmcgeoch6648 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The rest of the band gave Stills the nickname Captain Manyhands. Great collaborative effort. Paul Kantner wrote most of the song, Crosby wrote the intro, and Stills added a verse for the CS&N version.

    • @paradisedriveofmarin
      @paradisedriveofmarin ปีที่แล้ว +8

      I’m a working musician who plays this song regularly at events. And I’m sure David Crosby plays the strong rhythm guitar on the main verse portion of this song, and that he contributed the unique jazz oriented chords of that section. Those are pure Crosby chords, typical of his musical signatures , which is also evident in Guenevere on the same album. That’s not Still’s musical style. So I’d say your assessment of is mostly correct, but let’s give Crosby his musical due.

    • @hbgap3596
      @hbgap3596 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for this insight. Yes, he deserves great credit for the overall composition and feel. The reference to Guinevere is apposite in this regard, as is the comparison with the Jefferson Airplane version, which is inferior in my opinion, in its ability to evoke a freedom that is bittersweet, paid for with civilization’s destruction. David Crosby belongs to the ages for his legacy and I credit his compositions with having wrought a portion of my innermost psychological framework. What a shame he was so troubled, but to play the blues, you’ve got to live the dues.
