Just back from more live music !.. About 11AM. my friend Gary called to tell me he had an extra ticket to see David Crosby and Graham Nash tonight at the Flynn..   why not !?!? .. Live music is my best therapy..

I came downtown after seeing about half of Gabe’s LAX game.. and got there just a few minutes after my friends saw avid Crosby sitting on Church street playing guitar..

The theater was packed with people.. many of who I knew and nearly all.. ‘of a certain age’   It was nice to be in a crowd where I had about the average amount and color of hair..

The concert was really good.. These guys have been playing together for 40 year !!!.. they still obviously loved doing it.. and still sounded fantastic.

I have to admit, I’ve never been  much of a fan of their music .. ..  Most Of the  CSNY stuff I like  is usually Steve Stills or Neal Young.. the darker stuff I guess. but I really appreciate their musicianship.. especially their harmonies.. and all of that was really great .  I also really admire Crosby for his advocacy for organ donation (thanks !) . He is a liver transplant recipient..  and often talks about that and organ donations in interviews. .. I gave one of the roadies a samstone to give to him.. hope he gets it.

They did awesome versions of ‘wooden ships’, ‘almost cut my hair’ , ‘song before I go’.. they also did their poppy signature songs.. like ‘our house’.. ‘Guinevere’, ‘teach your children’.. which brought great memories and had the crowds standing

Last time I heard these guys was about 30 years ago.. I felt I could reach back in time and see myself at that earlier show.. If I could have really done that.. what would I have said ?

Maybe something like “teach your children well”

nite all, nite sam
