Deja Vu moved the living crap out of me when I first heard it. Will, in 200 years, people go "eh", like I do when I hear Beethoven now?

On the other hand, I really like both CSNY and Beethoven, so I guess it takes all kinds.
One of my favorite CSNY factoids is that Jerry Garcia played the amazing pedal steel guitar part on "Teach your Children" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teach_Your_Children
I've been playing about 6 years now, and I'm stoked that things are opening up here so I can perform a bit.
Right now I am working on Garcia's parts for Dire Wolf.
He's not the best pedal steel player, but he's my favorite.
Neil Young made an odd comedy movie with Devo, et al using the same name: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Highway
The Into The Black in that movie is blistering...

And they helped the dead with vocal harmonizing during recording of working man's dead and American Beauty. Cool stuff.

I feel this. One of my favorite artists, Ray LaMontagne, has entire albums that he has apparently (due to essentially rumors and, at some point, wikipedia) worked hard to completely remove from the internet. They're from his early days and a little different in terms of his style and voice, but I never found anything definite about the reasoning. However, these albums have some of my absolutely favorite material of h…
So that's what happened to those. I knew I wasn't completely crazy and that I'd heard and/or "bought" some early Ray LaMontagne music, but last year when I was trying to find it the tracks I was thinking of were nowhere to be seen. Just "Trouble." A guy I knew in high school released seven or eight albums with a co-conspirator and also felt the same way about their early work. Some of it was admittedly a bit rough, b…

That was the first thing I learned to play on the pedal steel guitar. I've been playing about 6 years now, and I'm stoked that things are opening up here so I can perform a bit. Right now I am working on Garcia's parts for Dire Wolf. He's not the best pedal steel player, but he's my favorite.
He also was the first steel player of the New Riders of the Purple Sage, before leaving his seat to Buddy Cage, which is my favorite pedal steel player :)

I’ve been subscribed for several years. It’s excellent. The general approach inspired something I’m working on now on the side.
Awesome. I’d offer any advice but technically this was pretty straightforward. It’s React, Auth0 (see note), Stripe and Contentful with a few Node services to glue the SaaS pieces together. * So originally we had social auth. We didn’t know how, or if, this would be monetized, but we knew we wanted to force sign up so we used Auth0. When we launched we told to expect 10,000 (maybe) MAU. The weekend we launched we got…
I’m working on spinning up a label for managing a personal release, and as part of it want to be able to self host and stream some tracks from releases or singles for free without just linking an easily interceptable mp3 in an audio element. So, mainly inspired from his efforts with Orastream, but of course without infrastructure there.
To save myself rambling further, I’m aiming to release, open sourced under the label, a containerized boilerplate for self hosting a server and client nodes that operate seekable audio streaming (for FLAC at first) and standard artist site content (bio, media, etc). Mainly as an option for artists with a bit of know how but not enough resources for something more robust so that they can operate independently of any other services if they wanted.
From there I’m hoping people would see enough value to contribute and to build on it from there.
I’ll definitely take your cues. While I doubt I’ll struggle any time in my life with Neil’s kind of numbers, maybe someone else would.
Thanks for the insights! That guy has been a hero of mine since I was young. Still is.
