The first time I saw Neil Young was in the Scorcese concert movie The Last Walz with The Band when I was about 8 years old. With this song. It's made me what I am. You've done it justice for sure! Thanks!

Edit: for those of you who don't know what I'm going on about:

Thank you so much, SdC! I really appreciate it. I remember this being in our set list in a band I played in way back in the 70's. I was playing drums at the time, and I always got the highest harmony parts. LOL! Don't know if I can hit those notes today.

There are only three kinds of drummers. Those who can count, and those who can't.

Thanks, Jim and Satch. I appreciate the kind words. Now I have to work on a Barry White version...  ;D

Nice job arranging and playing, Frank.  And I like the way that you engineered the doubled delay with the acoustic guitar track. Your experience is showing.

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.

Wow, you really made this one your one, Frank!  You should sing falsetto more often -- I think you did a really good job with this one, ESPECIALLY the BG vox.  Dare I say you gave the great Neil Young a run for his money in the vox dept.!  I'm sure you're glad to be out of those underwear, though. ;D  Great picking and soloing too!

Fantastic work all around, man! :)

Thanks, Hooper and Bosko! I do appreciate the comments. This truly was just thrown together. I doubled the guitar just to try to fill it in a little. If only I had time for the horn section... LOL!
