![]() Site last updated Friday January 25, 2008 15 December 2007. "WHAT A NIGHT!!!"
This show was to be something spedcial to the webmaster of this site and the seven other guests of Graham who accompanied him and met Graham after the show, but more about that later! The show started on a balmy Brisbane summer night with three great artists walking on stage to raptuous applause from a massive Brisbane crowd who had patiently waited since 28 February to see the legendary Crosby, Stills and Nash. Sadly the original show had to be cancelled due to the ill health of David Crosby, BUT THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT!
The first breather the crowd got was when the first set concluded and the wonderful trio trouped off for a well deserved breather and I trust some liquid refreshment. The second set was to outshine the first with some fantastic vocal Crosby Nash harmonuies and thrilling vintageguitar work from Stephen, who was really on top of his act and thrilling the crowd moving from one side of the stage to the other like a youngster and casting his used guitar picks into the eagerly waiting hands of his clamouring, excited and enthralled fans. This truly was Stills at his superlative best.
bra towards Graham, who remarked, "Now that is a first" much to the amusement of an appreciative Brisbane crowd. The bra was placed on his mic stand by Graham and remained on display until the show ended to a rousing standing ovation for the great Crosby, Stills and Nash.
one and all and signed the obligatory autographs and posed with his guests for photographs. Graham handed a package of photographs to the webmaster which he had brought with him as the webmaster had moved house recently and they had been returned to Graham. Terrific gesture from a caring human being. A longer chat was had between Graham and the webmaster who during the conversation mentioned that Graham had ever mentioned the fact that they were both born in tyhe same room in Blacvkpool, three months apart. Graham was genuinely surprised as he had obviously never received the webmasters email about this fact. The moral here is not to trust email communication. Graham's son was with the 'crew' and the webmaster was duly introduced to Will as were the webmasters son's Karl and Duncan. The webmaster was introduced to 'Coach' and Graham gleefully informed him that both he and the webmaster were both born in the same room of the Kimberley Hotel, South Shore, Blackpool. Graham was catching an early flight home the following morning so had to reluctantly excuse himself and shortly after said goodbye individually to his guests and a special hug for the webmaster. The webmqaster had promised and taken a bottle of vintage Aussie Red but could not get it into the venue, no doubt due to the security restrictions, BUT he did take it to Graham's hotel. Graham acknowledged receipt of this small gift after arriving back in the USA, saying, "Thanks for the great wine." COME BACK SOON GRAHAM.
I heard tell of two sons of Salford A pair of talented lads They were born in The ’Kimberley’ at Blackpool When a world-war had borrowed their dads! The wives were sent off to Blackpool To escape from the Luftwaffe’s lot They would have stayed home to thwart Adolf If not for the babe they’d begot! Dame Destiny shone on each baby And caressing one cherubic head She sprinkled the new child with sea-spray "You are destined to travel" she said. When babe number two arrived in this world With a cry that rang clear as a bell "You" said the Dame "are destined for fame With a vocal like that - I can tell." Boy Garnett grew-up sort of restless A bit of a rebel was he Father said: "I know your cure" "It’s a life in the navy for thee." Boy Nash became a musician Composer and songs was his thing He rocked and he rolled in the sixties When Britain was starting to swing! You must have heard tell of ’The Hollies’ With a string of hits to their name Graham Nash was in part instrumental In helping the group rise to fame. One night in the sixties, fate took a hand And Graham and Brian first met They appeared at the same music venue On a night they will never forget. As time has a habit of doing The years rocked-on and rolled-by Six-decades elapsed from those days by the sea And the sound of a babe’s lusty cry. In the year two-thousand-and-seven When the ’lads’ had matured and were men At a concert at Brisbane, Australia The friends were united again. When the Brisbane concert concluded Side by side the two friends stood Two ’lads’ born in far away Blackpool By ’eck those babes had ’come good’. Thanks Billy for being you! that they are forced to postpone the group’s tour of Australia and New Zealand that was to have kicked off on February 17 in Perth, Australia. The itinerary originally included nine dates at major venues, with the tour closer to have taken place on March 4 in Christchurch, New Zealand. The action was taken because of medical issues that have arisen for member David Crosby. On behalf of CSN, manager Donald Miller said, “We deeply regret that the band will not be able to embark on this tour as scheduled. David, Stephen and Graham send their best wishes to all their loyal fans in Australia and New Zealand. At this time, we thank you for your understanding and the band looks forward to seeing you this fall.” The latest updates to hand regarding the revised tour dates are: December 1, 2007.

New
Crosby Stills and Nash CD
THE GREATEST HITS OF CROSBY, STILLS & NASH'S EXTRAORDINARY CAREER COLLECTED
ON ONE DISC
Features 19 CSN Classics Available March 15, 2005
LOS ANGELES -- Since their original formation, Crosby, Stills & Nash have become one of the most successful and influential groups in rock history. With such timeless hits as "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and "Teach Your Children," the multiple Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees' music has spawned scores of contemporary singer/songwriters. Now, CSN's impact on both music history and the pop charts is reflected on one disc -- CROSBY, STILLS & NASH: GREATEST HITS. Book-ended by the glorious three-part harmony of "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and the immaculate vocal work of "Daylight Again," GREATEST HITS features 19 of the finest songs recorded by this enduring trio, including "Helplessly Hoping," "Wooden Ships," and "Wasted On The Way." GREATEST HITS (Rhino/Atlantic) -- jam-packed at nearly 80 minutes and featuring liner notes written by noted journalist Steve Silberman -- will be available March 15 at all retail outlets and at www.rhino.com for a suggested retail price of $18.98. When Crosby, Stills & Nash formed in Los Angeles, they were instantly dubbed a supergroup, as the band's three members originated from some of the biggest acts of the era -- David Crosby from The Byrds, Stephen Stills from Buffalo Springfield, and Graham Nash from The Hollies. CSN's self-titled debut -- released just three months before their memorable set at Woodstock -- became one of the biggest and most important rock records ever recorded, with its gorgeous three-part harmonies lifting the group to the pinnacle of the budding singer/songwriter movement. Seven unforgettable tracks from Crosby, Stills & Nash appear on GREATEST HITS, which also culls a trio of tracks from the group's follow-up effort, the No. 1 album Deja Vu.

Very Sad news
indeed to hear of the passing of Carl Wayne front man for The Hollies on
31/8/04.

career with The Move. Carl had been sick for some time, nonetheless news of
his passing was received with much sadness and shock.
Graham and
the webmaster of this site received the sad news today and wish to pass on
our sincere condolences to Carl's family and the members of The Hollies for
whom Carl will be sadly missed.
Carl gave
much enjoyment to many fans of all ages for many years. You will certainly

It's been almost thirty years since venerable rock legends David Crosby and Graham Nash entered the studios to record the last of their three album endeavours as a duo (Whistling Down The Wire) in 1976. A recent visit to a Los Angeles studio this January found these two gentlemen of Rock and Roll hard at work on their yet to be named new album that will be released later this year.

Crosby, Stills and Dr Nash?
Story received by email via UK private resource. Photo of two Grahams during Graham Nash's recent U.K Book signing tour. Graham Nash is the latest rock star to become a doctor. This weekend, the Crosby Stills and Nash star will be awarded the Otis College of Art and Design's 2004 Honorary Doctorate Degree at the College's Goldsmith campus on Saturday, May 8. Nash is being honoured with the doctorate not for music but for his knowledge of digital photography. Nash is considered a pioneer of digital imaging and an avid collector. He is the co-founder of Nash Editions, the world's first museum-quality, digital fine arts press. The company has produced many multimedia projects combining art with technology. "Mr. Nash embodies the College's belief that tomorrow will be led by creative, flexible thinkers who understand the convergence among media, technology, communication, and design," Otis President Samuel C. Hoi commented in a statement. Nash is also about to release a photography book titled 'Eye to Eye" featuring his photographs taken between 1969 and 2003. This Site extends hearty congratulations to Graham on attaining this high honour.

Dear Music Lover. We are a group of music lovers who believe that for far too long The Hollies have been overlooked by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and that their induction should have taken place years ago. We have formed to mount a campaign to accomplish that and believe that, with your help, it can be done. So what/how is this Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame? Leaders in the music industry joined together in 1983 to establish the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. One of the Foundation's many functions is to recognize the contributions of those who have had a significant impact on the evolution, development and perpetuation of rock and roll by inducting them into the Hall of Fame. Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artist's contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll. The Foundation's nominating committee, composed of rock and roll historians, selects nominees each year in the Performer category. Ballots are then sent to an international voting body of about 1,000 rock experts. Those performers who receive the highest number of votes, and more than 50 percent of the vote, are inducted. The Foundation generally inducts five to seven performers each year. Visit
http://www.rockhall.com/ Another thing
you can do, which is going to take a moment on your part, is to send a
letter to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, urging that The Hollies
be inducted. As they do not have an email address for such endeavours, it
will take a letter by regular (snail) mail. We have framed a
couple of sample letters which are also
posted on the link above. Any of them are but we would suggest that if all
possible, you write your own, or at least make some alterations to the
sample letters so it appears as if the support is coming from several
corners of the world and is widespread. Fourthly, if
you have a website that and could post a link to the sign-up page, it would
be greatly appreciated.
The
Webmaster of this site fully supports this action to see justice is done
and one of the finest Rock & Roll groups of all time arte rightfully
inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and encourages all true fans
of Rock & Roll to aid this project.
