Old Man

Published by under family,music

No, this post isn’t about my dad (heee!!! I kid, I kid!)

It’s about Neil Young’s song, Old Man.

So a few times throughout the years my mom would tell me a story about my Grandpa’s uncle, Louie. Louie was a caretaker for a ranch in California way back when. He and his wife lived on that ranch – a ranch owned by singer Neil Young. She recalled the day when she was 16 and went for a visit with the rest of the family.

That day, after rehearsing, Neil Young and Steven Stills came up to Louie’s house (on the property) and met my mom and family.

One awesome factoid – the song “Old Man” was written about Uncle Louie. And once again, YouTube is awesome. Here’s a video of Neil Young singing “Old Man” – the man at the beginning of the video is Uncle Louie.

If you go to the YouTube video page, read the comments by NikonSandy – as there are a few details of the story I didn’t mention.

One response so far
