@thib Hey, hey, my, my. Rock and roll can never die. Right. He does sing that one in a voice that is easily replicated. Songs like Helpless, helpless are a little more difficult without straining the vocal chords.

@thib Neil has that unique high register singing voice, which as you say, makes it difficult to replicate without hurting yourself, lol.

@thib Now, I need to hide MY head in shame. You know more about Neil than I do. Gotta confess, he was never my favourite. Too folksy for my liking, but there is one song that really gets to me, and I never heard it before my Mom started playing it and it was her absolute favourite song of all time: Harvest Moon. I still need to learn how to play it. Drop D. Neil likes Drop D tuning. An absolute masterpiece IMO.

@thib That sounds great. Pretty sure Neil went down to L.A. and joined Buffalo Springfield in the sixties and then CSN of course and never looked back, but I could be mistaken. That's so cool about your in-laws being Quebecois and Sherbrooke is only a stone's throw from here, 350km. or so which is a relatively short distance in this big sprawling country. Maybe the easiest thing to do would be for me to pick up your item and mail it to you though.

@thib I can't help, but the store where I bought my guitar (Long & McQuade) are a Canadian institution when it comes to musical instruments and especially guitars and recording equipment. I'm sure if you emailed them, they'd be happy to help. You could say you are planning a visit or you know someone (me) who could pick up the item you need for you. Anyways, that's all I can think of. Their email is ottawa@long-mcquade.com
