July 4 : New CSN&Y CD ready?!

July 2 : Graham Nash will receive two honors for
photography.
Story from today's Undercover
news:
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young member Graham Nash
will this month receive two honors for photography. Nash receives honors this month from
both the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel and the Monterey Museum of Art at La Mirada
for his work as a photographer and a pioneer in the development of ``digital imaging'' for
fine art photography.
Nash's photographic images will be on display at the Center for Photographic Art in Carmel
from Friday, July 9 through Friday, Sept. 10. On Sunday, July 11, the Center will hold an
Artist Gala Dinner and Benefit Auction to mark the opening of ``Personal Views,'' a
collection of his photographic images.
The Graham Nash show is the third in the Center's
``Cross-Over Project,'' an annual exhibition focusing on artists who have achieved high
visibility in one medium and have also successfully directed their creativity toward the
photographic image. (Past honorees include Dennis Hopper and Linda McCartney.)
Nash will be on hand at the Center from 7 p.m. to 9
p.m. on Friday, July 9 for his show's opening reception, and will also attend the Sunday,
July 11 dinner and auction at The Lodge at Pebble Beach. That evening Nash and partner Mac
Holbert will receive the 1999 Technical Contribution Award for their pioneering work in
forming the world's first fine art digital printmaking studio, Nash Editions.
Formed in 1991, Nash Editions is widely regarded as
the leader in the field of fine art inkjet printing. The studio has been lauded for
technical advances that greatly widen artists' capabilities to create high-quality fine
art pieces utilizing scanned or digitally manipulated images.
Meanwhile, the 3rd studio album from Crosby,
Stills, Nash and Young 'Heartland' is due in September.

The album will feature songs composed by Bridges,
as well as his singing and keyboard and guitar playing. Accompanying him will be David
Crosby, of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young fame.
The Arlington Road star hopes to devote more time
to music in the future: "I'd love to, although my wife tells me not to give up my day
job yet," he says.

according to Bob Merlis, a publicist for Warner Bros./Reprise Records. Merlis said Young
recorded the May 29 Austin show in "a serious way." The eight-CD set, which has
been in the works off-and-on for more than a decade, would include live material and
unreleased studio recordings.
June 17 :
"CSN&Y tour will absolutely
happen"!
This ran on the
JamTV web site yesterday:
David Crosby Says CSN&Y Tour Will
"Absolutely" Happen.
The mercurial Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young reunion tour originally slated to roll out
this summer will now happen some time later this year, provided an unknown personal
problem is rectified, according to singer David Crosby.
"There has been a delay and I'm not at
liberty to say why," said Crosby, speaking backstage at Sunday's Tibetan Freedom
Concert in E. Troy, Wisc. "It certainly is not because anybody is not happy with it.
The music we've been making in the studio is unbelievably good. We all want to do it, but
there's personal family reasons why one of us has got a problem and as soon as that can be
worked out we'll go out." He then added the tour will "absolutely" happen.
June 16 :
Neil Young box set ready for fall.
Neil Young In Rolling Stone.
Grunge Godfather Hits Studio for
Acoustic Project :
With his box set ready for fall,
Neil Young records acoustic tracks in Texas. Neil Young's long-awaited box set is finally
on Reprise's fall schedule, due out on October 26. That may seem like a long way off, but
the Godfather of Grunge has
plenty of other work before him. Young popped into Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas, for
three days earlier this month to record some tracks "for an acoustic project,"
according to Arlyn Studios manager, Brandi Thomas.
Young was in town for his solo
acoustic shows at Bass Concert Hall in nearby Barton Springs, and spent three days in the
studio with frequent collaborator Ben Keith at the helm. In addition, he recruited famed
keyboardist Spooner Oldham and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn from Booker T and the
MGs to help out on the sessions, which look like they are destined for Young's
long-delayed acoustic record for Reprise. That set is currently not on the schedule,
mainly because Young purloined three tracks from the project for the upcoming Crosby,
Stills, Nash & Young album.
Thomas describes Young as "a
perfect client," adding that his entire entourage was "well-mannered and
courteous, and hardworking." So hardworking that they never went out for a meal
during their entire stay at the studio. Instead they catered in "organic, really
healthy meals."
Young did find time to talk with
Texas icon and fellow Farm Aid vet Willie Nelson. Thomas says Young requested an audience
with Nelson -- who happens to be the uncle of the studio's owner -- but the Red-Headed
Stranger's schedule didn't allow for a one-on-one meeting. "Willie couldn't make it
down to the studio, but they did have a nice long chat on the phone."

Stone plublished:
Cold Feet for Young? May 13 1999 2:31PM
Neil Young is getting cold feet at the prospect of a planned US reunion tour with old
bandmates Stephen Stills, David Crosby and Graham Nash, scheduled for August. The plan had
been to support the forthcoming CSN&Y album, Heartland, with fifteen live dates.
However, it seems that Young wants to do a single pay-per-view show on cable television
instead, even though he originally put forward the tour idea. To add to the confusion,
recent reports state that the tour will take place in September, but that would clash with
Young's appearance at the annual Farm Aid concert?
May 13 :
Stephen Barncard's comments on the latest
tour rumours.
"I haven't talked to anyone
with the 'organization' about this recent NEIL news -- all I know is the only touring
outfit that's a sure thing is CSN, and we should be happy THOSE guys are still out there
and alive! They want to work as much as possible! And probably will...and there's a new
record out of the collaboration, on a new major label that has some juice behind
it."
May 9 :
David Crosby sings with Venice.
In a Dutch TV-magazine it is
confirmed that there will be a music special on Venice on Dutch TV (June 23). During this
special David Crosby sings Guinnevere together with Venice. The program is called 2 Meter
Sessies and it's the same program CPR and Venice were on last summer.
May 8 : Very recent Stephen Stills quote.
From the Indianapolis paper:
After his guest appearance Thursday at the Vogue, rocker Stephen Stills said he and
sometimes bandmates David Crosby, Graham Nash, and Neil Young would be touring this summer
(with a stop in Indy). It'll be CSNY's first tour together in 25 years. "We only tour
when there's an impeachment or a war nobody likes," Stills said, laughing. Stills
played Kidstock--a benefit for three Indianapolis children's charities--at the behest of
his friend Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts. He performed a six-song acoustic
set that included "For What It's Worth", "Love the One You're With",
and a gorgeous version of "Blackbird", dedicated to Brandon Bulsworth, the
Colt's draft pick killed in a car accident last week.

YOUNG concert in Akron, Ohio, on Tuesday April 27.
According to US website Sonicnet the accident at the University of Akron's EJ Thomas Hall
happened when an audience member fell about 25 feet from a third-tier balcony.
The 21-year-old man landed on an 11-year-old girl, her mother and another woman, who were
in the second- tier balcony. The man who fell was taken to Akron General Medical Center
where he was treated for neck and back injuries. The girl suffered leg and ankle injuries,

Confirmed: no Neil Young album anytime
soon, but CSN&Y tour later this year
From Rolling Stone Online:
Neil Young's long awaited follow-up to 1996's Broken Arrow has been postponed again,
according to an industry source. The as-yet-untitled solo album was due for release this
September, but last week, the powers that be decided to hold it until early next year.
"The album had to be held since it's not finished," one insider told us.
"They pillaged Neil's album for songs to be included on the Crosby, Stills, Nash and
Young album that is coming out this summer. Now Neil has to come up with some new songs in
order to release the record."
The CSNY album -- which is also still untitled -- is tentatively slated for a July 13
release on Reprise Records and will contain twelve tracks, with each band member
contributing three songs. All three of Young's songs are reportedly acoustic. The reunited
quartet plan to tour later this year, and according to Graham Nash, the reunion tour and
album was Young's idea, not CSN's. While no dates have been confirmed, a promoter in Spain
has August 7 penciled in for CSNY to perform at the Los Bagnos Festival outside of Madrid
