RIP David Crosby

[wimpy69]

From the Bryds to CSNY, a time in music that will never be again. Influenced my guitar playing in my teen years. Thanks

Seen on the news last night, it has been a hard couple weeks for music folks passing away

Jeff Beck, David Crosby, Robbie Bachman ( BTO ), Gordy Harmon ( The Whispers )
Lisa Marie Presley

And others also I just did not know their music

Crosby came along in an era of the some of the best music ever written. The true definition of " classic " is something that endures over time. And Crosby's music fits that definition.

I enjoyed Crosyby, Stills, Nash, and Young's music while not sharing their political world view. That was always a conflict for me but not something I could not deal with. I could still appreciate their melodies and harmony.

I was just listening to his album few weeks ago, If I Could Only Remember My Name. I love that thing. He will be dearly missed.

Sad. I've enjoyed their music for most of my life. Saw them live 5-6 times and 2 more with all 4. They were great, but when Neil Young toured with them, he brought them up to a much higher level.

Influential musician of the first order. His harmonies and guitar work were extra-ordinary. He made me a better guitar player. Always spoke his mind, even when he was wrong. I will be spinning his records this weekend. R.I.P. brother, you earned it.

We have definitely lost some greats in the music world of late.

Great musician.

Horrible human being.

Years ago I saw a cross-over list of sorts that began with original members of The Byrds (Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke) and all the spinoff bands that grew from them. The Flying Burrito Brothers, CSN&Y, Desert Rose Band, Poco and on and on...

Great musician.

Horrible human being.

And he hasn't been shy telling you about it. That's what the biggest problem was with all his fellow band mates, some of his closet have said they made amends in recent times, hope so.
