Neil Young-Unknown Legend (Unplugged) A real man of principle

[Paha Sapa]

Neil Young- Unknown Legend. I love the backup singers (one appears to be Nicolette Larson). Just a nice song that puts you on that desert highway.

1. Definitely Nicolette

Neil helped her career. Too bad she passed w away so young.

2. Whoa! I don't remember hearing that she died.

I looked up her wikipedia entry and it said she died in 1997 of cerebral edema caused by liver failure. There was a comment by Neil Young's half sister that saying: "Larson had been showing symptoms of depression, and her fatal seizure "was in no small way related to her chronic use of Valium and Tylenol PM."

Also didn't know she was married to Russ Kunkel from 1990 to 1997.

3. Russ Kunkel

was good friends with a high school friend of mine who was also a professional musician ( Joel Diamond).

5. He and other great session musicians from back in the day:

Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, Leland Sklar, and Steve Postell recently formed a new band together called The Immediate Family.

6. When Graham parker

was on the Tonight show Joel was in the back up band. He also played with Springsteen and toured with many stars. I think he was the sax player on the Pina Colada song and even though he is a good sax player his main instrument is keyboards.
