Notes:

I have heard Jeff talking about today's Neil Young show since last April, the last time Microphone Mike was in the studio adding his vast knowledge in the production of the Ryan Adam's show. I am telling you that Mike and Jeff are freaks of stories and information in the NY realm. During today's show the phone rang off the hook with calls of still more details in the NY/Colorado connection. Route 78 West listeners are hip to any and all things Neil. Special thanks to Mike for his effort in bringing you the facts about each track. And a round of applause for your very own Uncle Jeff, Esq. Folks, I just report the news, these guys track it down, study it and present it in easy to chew bites.

A book with details about the details of anything Neil Young is Ghosts On The Road by Pete Long.
NYAS Neil Young Apprerciation Society
Neil's Grammy
The Kurt Cobain connection
Godfather of GRUNGE
Who the F is Buffalo Springfield? A bedtime story for the kids. [can you say super group?]
Neilniks - Photos from today's show.

What's next? Well, Jeff and Mike are hashing over a few ideas for a future special installment of Route 78 West and you will not be disappointed. Stay tuned for the date and more details. Dam that was fun!

See ya next week on the AM dial or the worldwide stream.
