Upon learning about David Crosby's death, I started listening to Crosby's 1971 record, "If I Could Only Remember My Name".  I owned an 8 Track tape of that and listened to it in my 1970 Mustang.  Once I got rid of that car, I had nothing to play 8 tracks on, so until this morning, had not not listened to the album in years.  What an excellent album.  I can make out the voices and guitar playing of Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick, Jerry Garcia, and Jorma Kaukonen. 

The music that Crosby played was a big part in establishing my musical interests.  He was playing Americana music in the early 70's.   I think that it was fantastic that Crosby kept putting out new music later in life.  I was thrilled to see him perform on Chris Thile's "Live From Here" a few years ago playing duet performances with Chris Thile.
