On Monday at midnight Eastern, 5 AM UK, repeated on Monday afternoon at noon Eastern, 5 PM UK, Mushroom Fm will suspend regular programming for a two hour tribute to David Crosby, who died last Thursday aged 81.
David Crosby has been associated with many acts, most noticeably the Byrds, and Crosby, Stills and Nash, who sometimes performed with Young as well.
He leaves a remarkable musical legacy, and the sweetness of the harmonies he helped create are in stark contrast to his personal life in which he battled substance abuse and served jail time. In a 2014 article, Rolling Stone described David Crosby as rock music’s most unlikely survivor.
In this two hour special, I’ll talk about David Crosby’s life and times, but most of the time, we’ll hear some very very very fine music that he played a part in. We’ll go to Woodstock for a few songs from their historic performance, relive a little of Live Aid, and of course play all the most popular songs.
Whether you’re a major David Crosby fan or you’re curious to know a little more about him, I hope you’ll join me on Monday and that you’ll spread the word.
It’s our David Crosby tribute, on Mushroom Fm.
