Roger Modjeski discussing tubes at Burning Amp 2018
As should be obvious to everyone who bothers to watch and listen to this talk by Roger, he knows an awful lot about tubes and how they can be used in amplifiers. He is also a very creative engineer, ignoring old rules and misconceptions about tube...

Thanks clio. I’ve watched Roger’s 2016 BAF talk on You Tube, which is also great. Tube amp owners (or anyone considering getting one), here’s a chance to learn how a master electronic engineer approaches designing an amp.

Me likey, ghosthouse. The verses are very similar to Albert King's "Born Under A Bad Sign" (same lick and groove), written by William Bell and Booker T. Jones. Cream also recorded the song, but Jack Bruce was no Albert King! 
Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)?
@tzh21y, unfortunately, Buffalo Springfield were history by the time of CSN&Y. If you think about it, they had to be, as Stephen Stills and Neil Young were in both.
