What I know about minor chords could be written on the back of a postage stamp, but it was obvious that this was neither your average pop song nor indeed your average love song. And then there was ‘ Everybody’s been burned’, probably still my favourite David Crosby song. Having said that, what the album did contain was electrifying and Crosby was right there at the heart of it with that voice (I’d learned to recognise it by now) and those songs – ‘ Renaissance Fair’ said more about what we thought was happening on the West Coast in less than 2 minutes than any number of press articles. At this stage, no-one in the UK really knew anything about the controversy over ‘Triad’ or how he depped for Neil Young with Buffalo Springfield at Monterey and how that went down with the rest of the guys.Īs for me, I’d just bought my first Byrds album – ‘ Younger than Yesterday’ – and I was amazed – initially by what poor value it was all Byrds albums in their original form up to about 1968 clock in at around or under 30 minutes. No-one really knew why it had happened, but there were a few stories floating around suggesting that he could be a bit ‘difficult’.
I was taking a much more active interest in music by the time Crosby got fired from The Byrds.
But really, it was hard to keep up with what The Byrds were doing – they were ‘over there’ and you’d just about have forgotten about them when a new single would come out – ‘ Turn Turn Turn’, ‘All I really want to do’, ‘Eight Miles High’ – and they were all great. It probably helps if you were there at the beginning and I was…can still remember hearing ‘ Mr Tambourine Man’ on the radio and just being knocked sideways by that electric 12-string and those harmonies.
Over the years his recorded output has been distinctly spotty and yet…and yet…. Auditioned for the Monkees ‒ his roommate Peter Tork got the job.So, why bother with Crosby?

In 1957, 12-year-old Stephen "latched on to his roommate's guitar and plunked around until his fingers bled." 2 In the song "Old Times Good Times," he confirms "when I was twelve, I learned how to play the guitar." By 2003, Stills was number 28 in Rolling Stone's list of "The 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time." One of the greatest guitarists of all time learned to play while attending Admiral Farragut Academy in the Jungle.
