Buffalo Springfield and my musical history!
So on our way to Trenton this morning, a meeting for me and Kathy was going to the State Archives to look for dead people (do genealogy research), I put on some Poco, a band we both like. As I listened to Poco, I thought about their predecessor Buffalo Springfield and how the members of that band had such a big effect on my musical listening over the last 40 years! I mean where would popular music but without Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer! No I obviously mean those other four guys that went on to make just a little good music. So where do you start with those guys I guess with Stephen Stills – obviously he went on to Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes that other guy.. and I have several of their albums. One of my favorite Stills tracks is 4 and 20 from Deja Vu. I also have some of Stills solo work. one of the favorite things that Stills did was the second side of Super Session with Al Kooper there’s a lot of good stuff on both sides of that album. But probably my favorite Stills release was the double Manassas album. There’s a lot of good music on that album including “Johnny’s Garden”, “It Doesn’t Matter”. Then there’s Neil Young I only have some of his early stuff Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, and his first album. But obviously through the years I’ve heard lots of his music!
