‘Morning greetings to the Producer. Since my first choice was previously listed, I had to go back to square one.

This is an interesting choice … and a fav when the collective got together. Plus, Crosby and Nash are background singers on the recording. On the plus side, you didn’t select a video of the three of them doing the song. Another plus is that the song actually debuted on a Stills album. So it’s complicated – very far from Cupcake Theater. But even The Producer has a benevolent side of his quirky personality.

I’m not well versed in my CSNY, either as a collective or solo, so I didn’t have something at the ready until I thought about this one.

He’s had a liver transplant— his own fault — has diabetes, a blood illness and heart problems. Keep in mind that all 4 are founders of major bands. Stills and Young with Buffalo Springfield, Crosby with The Byrds and Nash with the Hollies. I like Neil’s music best, although Stills comes in a close second. Neil takes a lot of chances which always interests me.
