I guess it’s about time my poor old #Vinyl Saturday got around to celebrating the recent 80th birthday of the great #NeilYoung…Starting with the debut album of his first claim to fame as part of the much-loved #BuffaloSpringfield, way back in 1966…yikes…3 Canadians and 2 Americans!

I wonder if I might be related to Duke. My maternal grandma's maiden name was Proctor. Her older brother, George, rests in the American Cemetery located high above Omaha Beach in Normandy.
I finally met him in July 2O24.
It was such a moving experience to be amongst all of those heroes. 💙
