In this September 1969 performance from the short-lived ABC series Music Scene , Young is flanked by Crosby, Stills & Nash for a truncated-but-rocking version of Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere ’s “Down By the River.”

Up until a couple of weeks ago Graham Nash was the only member of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young that I had little or no appreciation for the solo work of. That was until I discovered his 1971 masterpiece 'Songs For Beginners'. A somewhat sentimental and sensitive work (it came on the back of a temporary split with David Crosby and Stephen Stills and a permanent split with his then love, Joni Mitchel), 'Songs For Beginners' lives in a similar orbit to Neil Young's 'Harvest' and is eminently...

It's been odd for me to write about my buddy Al the past couple weeks. He encouraged me when I told him I was going to start a blog and was a regular reader, but he asked me not to include him in my narrative. What can I say?
