[...] Do You Like Listening to The Music Of Your Childhood? December 30th, 2007 by admin The bloger Roger Bourland raised the issue talking about the 3-CD set of Daviv Crosbey’s music. I listened to the first two CDs worth of music. No new discoveries, I always knew these were great songs. I have them emblazoned in my brain, perhaps to a fault in that I really don’t need to listen to this music many more times in my life. Save them for special occasions.

Hey Dogheartc, thanks for the comment. Y’know, Crosby is doing pretty well considering he could have very well died many times over the past 2 decades. Yes he’s older as we all are, but still hanging in there!

As far as I know, cocaine is out of his life, probably a little pot has replaced it, but that won’t kill him.

Where have all the rockin’ hippies gone?
What the heck happened to this guy, who I adored on the all-star San Francisco rock CD, “If I could only remember my Name” as well as so many other hippie beauties?
Well, we know the answer: cocaine and stardom complacency had alot to do with it. So sad.

This post triggered a flood of ancient pop music remembrances, including a good deal of Buffalo Springfield. Right now I’m trying to get one of the corniest out of my skull: “Do I have to come right out and say it?” Sheesh.

Yes I knew that one, but I also had a Crosby bootleg from somewhere.

I ought to get that.

You do know the Jefferson Airplane cover of Triad, I assume? Grace Slick leaves no doubt about what her position in the arrangement is to be.
