Today’s Top 5: Christmases Past and Present

I guest blog over at Herc’s Hideaway today. For those unfamiliar with the Hideaway, it explores the highways, byways and intersection of music and memory. It’s a way-cool site, in other words. To read my post in full, click below…

To quote the sage philosopher William Haislip Squier, “Christmas is the time to say ‘I love you,’ share the joys of laughter and good cheer…”

At first glance, one might think that All Roads Lead Home, the “debut” album from Molina, Talbot, Lofgren & Young was a more egalitarian #NeilYoung & #CrazyHorse release, with the four jamming in the studio on songs. In fact, it’s a compilation of tracks that were recorded apart both before and during the pandemic, with Ralph Molina, Billy Talbot and Nils Lofgren each contributing three and Neil Young sharing one that’s just him, his acoustic guitar and harmonica. Yet, despite the time and distance, the songs flow the way one would expect from an in-studio collaboration—no doubt due to the musical DNA the four have long shared.

It’s been a while since I shared a pic of this angel. (Do I even need to say his name?!) #cats #catsofinstagram

Has it really been 38 years since my first #EmmylouHarris concert?! Yowza. My seventh-row seat set me back all of $15! This show, at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, was a wondrous night that spotlighted her then-current Ballad of Sally Rose LP. I didn’t put it in my #OfConcertsPast piece (link in bio), which I wrote 9 years ago, but - as happened a few other times - though we’d yet to meet, my wife was at the show, too! #concertmemories #livemusicisbetter

On today’s agenda: #NeilYoung and #CrazyHorse in Rotterdam circa 2001 via the #NeilYoungArchives. It’s a true cacophony of zen. #livemusicisbetter
