Met Croz thru a friend.
He Invited my wife and I over to his CA home, as we met nearby.
Spent an next entire day with David, with my wife. We went driving, went to his fav lunch place and toured their great home.
He was humble, polite, and welcoming.
Highlight of my life.
Can only imagine how difficult this must have been for you to do. I'm confident that I speak for everyone when I say thank you for doing it. Grateful that he left behind so many cherished memories, melodies, and harmonies. My heart is with all of you who lost such a dear brother in music.
Well spoken 👍
Indeed. I don’t need to add more. You have said it all. 🙏🏻👏🏻
Yes, beautifully said Seth
@Seth Cashman Amen to that Seth, beautufully said. 💜
I adhere to all the sentiment described in these beautiful words.
Ive been listening to you and David Crosby since 1969. With David's passing, Rock and Roll has entered a new era. The 60s, and early 70s, we can not go back now. There is no going back home for us babyboomers. David's voice, was as influential as anyone other than the Beatles.
I thought my crying for Croz was done, but both yours and Steve Postell's tributes have me understanding that there are still more tears left 😢. Love you, Croz.
Awesome tribute to your dear friend David Crosby ..... I can see the love you have for this man, and the loss you truly feel is evident in your eyes Lee....so touching in these strange days we are living today....thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story.....
Lee, thank you for the music. We need to honor David by listening to his music.
I can see the hurt in your eyes. You have wonderful memories and the music.
Take care
Be safe
Honor his music and celebrate life with the songs he gave us.
He left us a treasure trove of music
that will endure for many years to come.
So generous of you to share your thoughts and the music with us. Thank you.
One legend discussing the life of another. It was both fascinating and sad to listen to you. Thank you so much for this.
Many thanks for this most reverent no hype honor to your dear friend Cros where you uncover his depth and incarnations. He is our rock too being a foundation and soundtrack of our lives diving into the great cosmic psychedelic journey from late 1960s going forward. An Intrepid bold love mover and shaker -- and you put it out there Leland Sklar!! 🌟⭐🪐☀🌜🌟🌠
Thank you! Michael Hedges, you and Crosby - 3 true originals! Wow!
Thanks so much Lee, My Condolences to you and everyone who loved him,..he sure did bring us a lot of joy and the world is a better place.
Thank you Lee for sharing your experiences with Dave, with the world. How rich you must feel to having known him. He is a true American icon! I love his soulfulness and realness. Thanks again. ~ Dawn from Indianapolis area
No doubt that David lived his life to the fullest, and we benefited from his immense talent and boy did his music enrich our lives!! Thank you Lee for being a big element in helping his music come to us.
Thank you for the beautiful version of "My Country Tis of Thee" by David and Michael Hedges." It brought many tears to eyes. Sad to lose both of them, but we still have you. As Zevon would say, "Enjoy every sandwich."
Somebody wrote on another channel that Croz's favorite sandwich was a BLT with Avocado, and I joined in with Zevon's sandwich remark.
Yes. Deeply innovative. Remarkable.
Oh yeah,,,he did a gig with Hedges….who was so phenomenal … now have to dig it up , old Cd
@B B - wha? I never knew they performed live together. What a golden recording, would give just about anything to hear that performance
Hi, Lee. Thank you for this loving tribute to David. He was working hard right to the end, churning out music in his studio. I wonder if he sensed the end of all things, possibly spurring his prodigious output. As you guys were close, I offer my sincere condolences. It hurts to lose a friend.
He talked about it. Not in terms of "sensing" his death, but with regard to his age. He wanted to get the music out while he was still alive to do it.
@@garydavis9361 I couldn't agree more with you Gary.
Agree..
RIP David Crosby 🌹 🕊 💔
He will never be forgotten.
His last tweet was very prescient. But it sounds like he had a conversation with another musician about an upcoming project the day he died.
That harmony, the middle part, so elusive. His signature. Every vocalist on the planet would want him to sing alongside them. He made everything...better.
I can sense your utter sorrow and deep pain at the loss of your dear friend and fellow musician. Cherish the memories. So many people across the globe are mourning with you. This was a terrific way to honour David. Thank you so so much.
Feeling sad at heart today. I’m very grateful for all the beautiful music left behind by these amazingly talented people. Sometimes I just have to let the tears flow. It feels comforting even missing you guys.
Your the real deal Lee. A true friend a rare thing in the day and age. God bless . And God bless David and you for the great music many will miss out. Mike, Scranton, PA.
Thank you for this absolutely beautiful tribute Lee. David Crosby was an amazing singer, an innovative guitarist and great songwriter. May his onward journey be full of light and love. Peace.
Rip 🪦 David Crosby
Thank you for the music 🎵
Gone but not forgotten.. your music will never fade away.. It lives on forever n ever..
Love from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks Lee for your heartfelt tribute to David. The way he made his transformation after his addiction was an inspiration to many of us. The way he honored the muse and stayed open to the creative flow was nothing less than amazing and a guide for us as we grow older. His voice will live inside me. Take good care, Tim Swisher
Sorry about the loss of your friend. He was an irascible character, talented, unique, self destructive at times, brilliant at others. One of a kind. Not many like him.
Thank you for these stories and songs. I've followed David's music as a teen since the mid 70's and have you seen you play with him (and Graham) a few times and always loved the energy between David and the band and his connection to the audience. So sorry for you loss.
My country Tis of thee … left me speechless and rejuvenated. Thank you for sharing and thanks to David Crosby for so much inspiration and legacy
I was listening to Sky Trails when I heard the news. Couldn’t help thinking about his family, and Joni and Graham too. Couldn’t help thinking how unbelievably good his last five albums were. For those who believe, now he is just somewhere else.
Thanks for this perfect tribute to a fellow legend, and your friend, David Crosby.
I have vivid memories of going to the Bahamas by myself in 1989. I had just got a new job that was transplanting me from Pittsburgh to Houston, TX. I needed to do something for myself as my life was about to change in a good way. I took Croz's "Oh Yes I Can" with me. He was such a huge part of my life. I fell asleep to his voice so many times......I was fortunate to have met him and have brief conversations with him. I knew this was coming but........damn.
There is never enough time. We are all on notice.
oh yes i can has some great tracks.... tracks in the dust for example
@@professormacdeezy My favorite on that album.
I guessed that you might be struggling when I saw no video yesterday. I and many other of our generation are right there with you. Such a loss, but as you often say, the musical memories will live forever. Thanks for sharing, my brother 🙏 Love you always.
Michael Hedges was an extraordinary musician. I used to marvel at this sounds and tones he would get out of his acoustic guitar. Beautiful rendition of an American treasure. David Crosby amazing, beyond legendary. Sorry for your loss, Leland.
I’ve been impressed with your work for many years including early work with James Taylor. You are a Living Legend. I thank you so much for presenting this retrospective of your work with David and sharing a side of Croz that displays his diversity of musical talent and genius. A true wordsmith that few in this world will ever rise to equal. Thank you for sharing your voice, your heart and wisdom Mr Leland. In truth David Crosby’s music will always live forever, his soul Rising like the Phoenix 🔥❤️🔥
Total respect. Thank you for this amazing post. Irreplaceable and indelible will your talents and musical accomplishments be.
Bless you and your community of outstanding musicians.
One of the all time most memorable performances i have ever seen and heard was at a CSN concert with David singing ALMOST CUT MY HAIR -- i was amazed by the power of his voice as it filled the arena - this was one of their later shows and he could still sing - what a voice. RIP to one of the great characters in the history of rock n roll, one of the last of the great originals
Thank you Lee for such a touching piece of your day with Davids music. You’ve honored him in such a loving way with your words and his music.
Thank you for sharing. David will be missed. His music will live on. What a great friend you are.
Thanks Lee. Sad to see David’s passing but can celebrate his life and let him live on in his music. The blend of his and Phils voices live was surreal. RIP music man.
I can tell you're reliving every note. I thank God for videos and recorded music. David will live on just like Bing and Perry and Elvis and on and on. Thank you for doing this.
MY GOSH Lee, that has to be one of the most beautiful arrangements I've heard in quite a while. Makes you proud to be a free American as well. Prayers to Davids family. So, so sorry for your loss Lee!!
As always my friend....thanks for keeping the music alive...peace and love.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and caring tribute to a great man, David Crosby. Blessings and peace to you 🙏 Namaste ✨️🕊
Thank you for letting us share this tribute of your friends. He was unique and very giving. My condolences!
Sorry for the loss of your friend, Lee. His work will live on and he will be remembered.
My sympathy for losing your friend.
Thank you for posting
Never met Croz but I took his passing personally... It hurts... Such a treasure such a talent..
Such a beautiful tribute to your friend❤️💐🌹🎸🎸. David will always be with us, his soul coming through his music. Hugs to you.
Lee, when you close your eyes, do you imagine being at the session tracking the tunes? At least, that's what I imagine you're doing and definitely what I do! It's really beautiful that we all get to 'sit next to you' and vibe out. Thank you for sharing your excellent waves with us.
RIP Mr. David Crosby.
No words can assuage the anguish you feel for the loss of your friend, our beloved David. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. He will be sorely missed by his fans, friends, and family.
Thank you Lee for plating the soulful sounds . these move through the spirit. As a musician and an someone who love music OMG the tears of love roll down my cheek..
I was listening to his music for the past 10 days. Pure masterpiece
Condolences Lee. David was indeed an influence on me. Such a beautiful singer. Please listen to his and Don Henley's harmonies on Jackson Browne's song Fountain of Sorrow. The beauty always brings a tear to my eye.
David was a pioneer and an innovator. Just go over his songs -- he didn't write songs like other people's. He was eclectic in his musical tastes. He said he learned his intricate and haunting harmonies from listening to Bulgarian women's choirs. He gleaned musical data and inspiration from classical music, from jazz and folk music. He had me from "What's Happening?!?!" I became a Crosby-head, and stayed with him through all his ups and downs and ups again. He really hit his stride in the last ten years with some truly astonishing music. Maybe to some people he's just a "footnote," but he had an extraordinary effect on my life since 1965, and I will always be thankful, and I am happy that he finished well, except that he checked out just a little too soon. Isn't that the way it goes? He kept talking about his impending demise, like he had only so much time left, and then ... he's gone. And then there was that tenor voice, oh my .... Kerouac was right -- nothing lasts.
Thank you Lee for this touchingly personal tribute. Sing on, Croz.
Thank you for playing these songs I have never heard. Awesome. Rest in Eternal Peace and Light, David Crosby.
I am listening to it now and think, man this music is timeless. More than 50 years old and still amazing. Just amazing. ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful tribute. Wonderful to hear these songs we otherwise would miss. Take care. 👏♥
At Crosby's lowest the song " DELTA" IS one of them songs that makes me cry every time I hear it's pure MAGIC!!.. 🙏🎸🎶🗣️☮️🇺🇸✌️
Great memories and thanks for sharing them. I'm like you, Lee, it's so hard to believe Croz is gone. I started listening to him in the sixties when I was in HS, like I did with so many of our iconic and pacesetting singers and songwriters. I loved Crosby.
The guitar work of Michael Hedges was INSTANTLY recognizable. . After all these years. . I had never heard that track in my life. . But as soon as the playing started. . It was him!
Thank You So Much for Sharing your experience and thoughts on David Crosby 🙏, Yes He Was A Beautiful Spirit, Speaking Truth in his Songs 🎵 ❤️ That are lessons of our Culture of Woodstock, it was the Peace and Love ❤️ that was transcend on all levels!" I will Miss him greatly . I was born at the end of 1960, but I did get to ride the Waves Of Great Music 🎶 🎵 from The Byrds, to CSN, & CSNand Y." Awesome Memories. Rest In Peace 🙏 David Crosby 2023March
Thank you Lee, He will be missed, but never forgotten!
Love You Leland, Have a great set! Will be here when you return! Thanks for the love and of course Croz, we’ve chatted about music past couple years, knew him and he knew me pretty much considering, but I appreciate you so much. I’ll never forget Devonshire downs , I’m a valley guitarist born in Burbank, live here in Carlsbad now. ✌️ - Thomas
Thanks for the lovely sendoff. Great to see David’s admirers chiming in.
DAVID's not GONE !!! You have. to look for him and experience him in a whole NEW and different way! Use this time to mourne, yes, however, slow down and get into your heart with the GRATITUDE you feel and he'll be right there with you. Just because we tend to Wear these ." Suits of Clothes" completely OUT everytime, We are not the Suit of Clothes as we really just wear them out and then get new ones and try again! Fun Huh? YEPPERS! I could sit all day and listen to David, You and all the rest that WAS along to make music and magic and LOVE Thank you all, Phoebe Tyra Class of '69
Merci beaucoup Lee. "My Country 'Tis of Thee" is a HIDDEN GEM. I've listened to it 5 times!
Wow.... I remember hearing My Country Tis Of Thee at 17 and it made me teary how beautiful that arrangement was. Now I'm 50 and just now knowing you played bass on it....small world. Yeah, This is a gut kicker but thank goodness we still have his music. Him and Hedges both. Thanks for posting this and have fun with Lyle.
What a tribute here. Thank you for sharing this as you grieve his passing.
With great love comes great grief.💕
Thank you Mr. Sklar for sharing and am sorry for your loss.
Croz's music and voice is a large part of my musical life.
His passing is one of a great soul.
R.I.P.
😎👍❤🖖
Love Brother
The last time we saw David, he told us that he would die soon. Not as a morbid, scary thing; just as a matter of fact. His body was wearing down. He said that he was going to keep on playing until he couldn't play anymore. I believe that he was successful.
Sad, another loss from that generation of musicians. My favorite CSN show I attended was in July 1987 at Radio City Music Hall. Crosby played I almost cut my hair solo acoustic. Spectacular!!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with so many wonderful artists. Sadly, many have been lost too soon. We’re so fortunate to have been gifted with his great voice for so many years. May God bless his family and friends who are mourning his loss. Surely, he’s singing in a better place with many other musicians.
The day Hedges left us was a very sad day for me. Michael's song Holiday has always been among my favorites. Then a few years later I heard the Crosby/Nash version of My Country Tis of Thee and it blew me away...it's such a simple song, made so beautiful by Michael's arrangement and their soaring vocals. I honestly don't know how you can listen to the rendition you played in this video without crying...because I made it about 5 seconds before the waterworks came. What an honor it must have been to play with these two magical artists. So sorry for the loss of your friend. Thanks for sharing your stories.
Thanks for sharing Leland, you were the first person I thought of when reading this sad news. Stay well.
David was an absolutely tremendous human being and wonderful music maker. Such a great loss for this world. Love you Lee, take care.♥️
Thank you Leland for honoring David Crosby...beautiful stuff...I used to play Crosby Stills and Nash covers at my first gigs at friday night teen club in the late 60's...I would tie my drums to my bicycle and multiple trips to that gig just to play...beautiful memories says this lifelong musician in vegas!
I’ve loved his music for most of my life. He did incredible work. I’ll truly miss him.😔🎶
Opps
The news of David Crosby's death sent a ripple through the music world. These tracks you've played gives people like myself a short glimpse into how talented this guy was and how you both shared musical journeys together. I had no idea he collaborated with Michael Hedges the late guitarist. I know Hedges was a huge fan of Neil Young and that he has also collaborated with fellow bassist Michael Mannring. Thank you for taking the time to give up a glimpse of all this musical magic!
Iirc both Crosby & Nash do some backing vocals on Taproot.
Condolences to you his friend, to his family and to the world who is mourning the loss of this titan. I hope that the tidal wave of great memories of music making and friendship, wash away the pain of his loss. Thanks for the music honoring him. ❤️ 🖕
I love the work David did on Grace Slick's 'Manhole' album. A 13 minute song which is really three songs in one. The final part 'Give me the Sun' has David's harmony and Jerry Garcia on guitar. It is truly sublime.
Thank You for all the beautiful songs you brought to the world. David Crosby, Forever Loved, Forever Missed, Forever Remembered.❤❤
Such a Special Tribute Leland. Thank you for sharing with all of us ❤️
Thanks Lee for sharing! I've covered so many CSN&Y songs over the years, truly part of the soundtrack of my life! I share your profound sadness at David's passing, but his music will live forever, rest in peace David.
a treasured memory: early 1990s, the brilliant Michael Hedges @ The Bottom Line in NYC, 2nd show... David and Graham Nash were in the audience, not far from my wife and me. Near the end of the set, they came up onstage to join Michael for "i carry your heart," Michael's setting of an ee cummings poem; lovely, their three voices blended so beautifully. As the applause peaked, Michael launched into "Ohio"; David laughed, I think from being taken by surprise, but of course they did it well -- including David passionately tearing into his iconic "how many more!!" part at the end.
May your memories of these fine gentlemen forever grace your heart and evoke a smile.
David started exhibiting jazzy inflections in his music all the way back in the Byrds and he never stopped… it’s part of why I loved his music so much, and part of why it has so much spiritual staying power. Beautiful tribute, Leland.
Just awesome, this contribution to his legacy. I've got some shallow minded friends who will not be able to grasp the depth of his body of work. For the collaborators/ the singers of harmony , David Crosby will be remembered forever.
Goosebumps from the first line of "My Country..." Love it all. Thank you.
I first met Michael Hedges when Donnie Record brought him to my studio in Colorado in '77 or '78. Michael crashed there for some days and improvising with him was sheer joy. The only time I met David Crosby was during one of the anti-nuke gigs in New Mexico. I shared the bill in France a couple times with Veronique first in '94 and ... I was living in France when we lost Michael. I couldn't process it! Peace Brother Leland.
Thank you for sharing, been listening 🎶 to all the music thru the years,iam 70 yrs old now,grew up in California, listening since 1966 to all the great musicians, we had back then.....Many Blessings to you,he's family and all others
..🥰❣💜💫
He was a forever legend of creativity and music to all of us, but I want to share my heartfelt condolences and love to you on the loss of a dearest of friends. Love ya, sending a big hug.
I Want to tell you thank you for the decades of beautiful music that i have treasured throughout my life. . Much love
One of the best singer, songwriters of his generation. RIP Coz.
We must hold each other close, as we age together. 🙏☮
David had the sweetest voice. so smooth as silk, so soothing. RIP David.
One of my favorite songs of David's is this one: "I belong on the shore. Hustling nickels and dimes. It ain't long before it's gone. Might as well have a good time." David always looked unflinchingly into the face of death. His death. He never knew when it would come, but he knew he was gambling, hustling, nickel and diming it all the way towards his date with it. I bet he was surprised to live as long as he did, knew he was victorious beyond anyone's reckoning. It's amazing that he was as productive as he was, well into his final months and weeks. I followed him in Twitter, and never had an inkling this was coming. He's going to forever be one of my favorite singers and songwriters. Until my own day of reckoning. Missing you, Croz.
❤ Bless you Leland. And what a gift David Crosby was to the world. It sucks that’s he’s gone but he’s enjoying his new home.
"Find a heart" is a beautiful song, I'm 38 and my first time hearing it. I love those notes, and the growl of the bass with the piano. David's voice just naturally cuts through. Very catchy 👏
Thank you, Leland. I feel a little better now. My day will be a little better. David would want that. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your comments and thank your for your tributes, it's the music that connects us all....the silence is profound.....I had never heard that version of my country...amazing.....
My sincere condolences, Leland. And thank You so much for sharing these beautiful musical memories.
Thank you Lee, I saw/heard David about 10 times, always OUTRAGEOUS. When I heard DELTA I realized I would never ever hear a voice like that again, I wish you all could have been there.
I was fortunate to live through this period of music of the 60s and 70s.
It was a special time of profound change.
Wish I could return for a visit.
thank you. What a genius, love love his voice and love love his songwriting. bummed. Accept my condolences.
