Oh no. So, so sorry to hear this.

This year has started out with several personal losses for me. Only a few hours ago I learned of the death of a family friend from decades ago when my dear husband was alive.

Lisa Presley's loss got to me, too.

May David Crosby rest in peace. Thank you for your music and the memories it brought.

One of my favorites -- "Teach Your Children"

Danky2, I believe you are right. Wasn't there a female singer who requested his donation?

Forgot all about that, if he is the one.

Will always remember the day that I bought the album " Crosby, Stills & Nash ". The front cover of them sitting on an old sofa on a porch.

watched the a program called " Laurel Canyon " which was abt David Crosby and other musicians . Also the " Remember my Name " program.

David Crosby talked abt his chronic health problems . I think he stopped touring in 2022 .

Ah gee, all of the musicians from my youth are passing. I remember David from The Byrds even before Crosby Stills and Nash. In fact, I still have the first Byrds album. Sad to hear this.

Oh wow - I am so sad to hear that! I have loved the whole band. Saw them in concert a couple of times. Their music was an important part of my life. Played their songs often, sang with with their songs often. I saw him in concert a few years ago in a small venue. He was great, of course. Rip.

He was the donor for Melissa Ethridge's two children. At least I think two.

Crosby, Stills and Nash was my first big concert, 1970.May he rest in peace.🕊️

He was the biological father of Melissa and Julie's late son Beckett. He died from a drug overdose in 2020 at the age of 21.

He also was the biological father of their daughter. I read years ago he was very involved in their lives. Melissa said they lived near each other.

He was the father of 2 sons and 2 daughters with his wife Jan.

DH and I were lucky to see them in concert a number of times in the late 90's and early in the 2000's. I always enjoyed their concerts.

Wow.....so sad.....saw CSNY many a moon ago.....His look reminded me of Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz.....and I mean that in a nice way. 😘. Seems this year is already off to the races with all the great singers and actors deaths.

Loved all his (their) hits. He will be missed. There definitely is a Rock and Roll heaven. 🙏

.....🎶 Doo Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo...🎶. RIP 💔

These posts about the passing of so many are really getting to me. Sad news. I saw him perform on my 21st birthday.

One of my all-time favorite songs is Carry On. I think I need to go listen to it...

Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, love their music each and every song. My favorite without a doubt is Suite Judy Blue Eyes. Since the song came out to this day I still love listening to it, one of the best.. I am sad to hear of Crosby's passing. I know he had many health issues. His mark and legacy will live on in the music world and Suite Judy Blue Eyes will live on for me. May David Crosby be at peace with God.

I absolutely love The Byrds. That was FABULOUS music with the 12 string guitar. They made magic out of Bob Dylan songs e.g. Mr. Tambourine Man and My Back Pages. Remember Turn, Turn, Turn?I treasure my CD of the Byrds Greatest Hits. I wish that band had lasted longer.

@beach-mom

Not sure what year I saw them in DC, but they were perfection. So much good music.

It makes me feel old and sad to lose all these wonderful talents.

We are scheduled to see Graham Nash solo in April at Ramshead Tavern in Annapolis.
