^ Great album. The young black guy is Greg Reeves who played bass on Deja Vu. They fired him sometime after. He was friends with Neil Young but C,S, and N apparantly didn't care for the kid. He was only 19 when he played on the album and "Carry on" was written by him. He was a natural who reportedly couldn't read music but played on a major Temptations album for Motown at the age of 15. He's a session musician now and has played for some big names.
C,S,N and Young apparantly did some of the work on Deja Vu at a cabin in Hathaway Pines in the Sierra. This place is about 10 miles from my remote cabin. We bought our property in '78 as a forclosure. Reeves was the guy who got foreclosed on. He tried to smuggle weed out of Mexico and got caught by the authorities and spent time in a nasty Mexican jail. Neil Young finally bailed him out to the tune of 25K. But while he was down there he missed payments on everything including the property we now own. I've never met the guy but I've thanked his flakyness many times. 8 acres on a pristine trout river, North Fork of the Stanislaus. There was nothing available on the river then and nothing now.
My place sits above this 1926 logging bridge
