Thanks for the CSN link. Though they played some great music in the '80s (and continue to today) I wouldn't have thought of them since I've been a fan since 1968. Actually I was a fan of Crosby in 1965 (The Byrds) and Stills since 1966 (Buffalo Springfield). Graham Nash came from The Hollies, but I wasn't a fan back then.

I wasn't a big Dire Straights fan at the time, but since Mark Knopfler recorded the 'Neck and Neck' album with Chet Atkins I've come to appreciate his incredible guitar work.

Always liked CSN (and CSNY) and fell in love with Southern Cross when it started getting radio play. After I bought the album though I found I liked one of Crosby's songs better, altho once the vinyl was long gone I couldn't remember what it was. Downloaded the album again a while back and I'm pretty sure it was Delta... altho I now like Might As Well Have A Good Time just as much, so who knows?

Anyone remembers this? It's not so well known...
