FOUR STRONG WINDS (Ian Tyson) - Neil Young
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTMMS88gi6c
One of my favorite songs is "After the Gold Rush".
Great song! Have u heard Patti Smith's version yet? Highly recommended...
I remember Neil saying that years ago he used to listen to the song Four Strong Winds over and over, When he still lived in Canada. He eventually had to record it and wound up on his Comes A Time album.
Years ago, there was a tribute Neil Young album with singers/bands doing his songs. I think it's called The Bridge. I have the cd somewhere. I can't find it. It doesn't matter. I'd rather listen to the real Neil.
when he does Country Feedback with REM

Maybe my favorite out of Neil's HUGE mass of songs (he's a gift, an icon of music) is "Thrasher". It's in D major, a nice clean beautiful key. It's awesome. Check it out...lyrics, music, voice, all great. No backups. Just Neil and his acoustic and a harmonica, I believe, if my memory serves me right.
I have so many musicians who have helped me enjoy life thru the years that it would take a thousand pages to list them all and their songs. I'm a keyboard guy.......semi-professional....solo gigs...gigs with bands. My only TRUE 'hobby' is music. But it's more. It's a way of life. Emotions. That's what music elicits............emotions.............of all types.
Catinidaho...............I see you're a huge Neil Young fan too. I'm huge on a lot of musicians. And on lots of genres of music. I live for music....almost! And my cat!!!!
Spicey Excel.......YES....I'd pick those Neil Young songs and more, as I bet you would..............!!!!

Good selection, Allamaraine.
Is anyone keeping up with Uncle Neil's latest? Last I knew he'd left Peggy again and was with (to quote a longtime female fan) that gold digging slut Daryl Hannah.
Can't believe Neil went "Hollywood". Actually, His exwife, Pegi died and I think it was after they divorced.
You're right and I knew that! RIP Peggy, she died the 1 st of Jan last year.
I think Neil is still with Daryl Hannah.
