Asleep

September 22nd, 2006 · No Comments

As I promised, here is a tune by CSN, oh, I posted an mp3. Yikes. The song is sung and composed by Graham Nash, it is about being asleep.

“All I need is someone to awaken me, much of me has gone to sleep and I am afraid to wake up. Shake me by the shoulders if I am lying with you now. When you talk about I sleep away when it’s hard to face the day.”

A little history about this. I first heard about CSN in junior high school in the 70’s. Kevin Andrus played the drums and tuned his band’s guitars. Badly though. The harmony of CSN is legendary. Graham Nash is the crux of CSN’s harmony. He has the nack of finding that perfect fifth, sixth, seventh, whaterver it is that works.

I have a friend who can do that. I miss him. Kim Roberts. We will do some tunes for you. I know you watch this blog Kim. I will get a mike and break out my Martin. I think about you all of the time. Let’s talk soon!
