NYYC Race Week 2022 – 5 Minutes of Sailporn
So many great memories of sailing in Newport, Narrangansett Bay and paties at Harbor Court. Miss it bigly 🙁
Read MoreKantner could not be credited on the original release of Crosby, Stills & Nash due to legal issues, but he is credited on the 2006 re-release. The song was also released by Jefferson Airplane the same year on the album Volunteers. Both versions are considered to be original versions of the song, although they differ slightly in wording, melody, and considerably in meaning. The song depicts the horrors of a post-nuclear war where presumably two sides have virtually annihilated the world and one man from each side stumbles upon the other. The opening line of the song is considered by many fans as being one for the ages. "If you smile at me I will understand, that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language" These lyrics are still printed today on tee shirts at Crosby Stills and Nash and Young concerts and on various internet stores.
Experience with sailing and nautical references provide the basis for many songs as well, most likely initially driven by Crosby, who learned to sail at age 11 and lived on a boat for many years.[26] As seen above, the cover of their 1977 album CSN shows the three on Crosby's 80 foot sailboat "Mayan". Songs which feature this theme include "Wooden Ships," Crosby's "The Lee Shore" and "Shadow Captain," Stills' "Southern Cross," and Young's "Through My Sails".Can you tell me please, who won the war? And no Tillerman this is not one of my bloody competitions.

It sounded like the tribute to Joni Mitchel was very moving, and hearing her sing “Both Sides Now” with a supporting cast organized by Brandi Carlisle, made me tear up.
