Seen here in a shot from ‘YOUNG SHAKESPEARE’ with Louis Avila, the foreman of my new ranch when I first bought it in 1970, I was a happy camper. I wrote ‘Old Man’ about Louis.

The film ‘YOUNG SHAKESPEARE,’ our earliest live performance film, includes: Tell Me Why, Old Man, Needle and the Damage Done, Cowgirl in the Sand, Heart of Gold, A Man Needs a Maid, Journey Through the Past, Don’t Let it Bring You Down, Dance Dance Dance, Sugar Mountain, Down by the River, Helpless

All these songs were captured in a solo acoustic performance at the Stratford SHAKESPEARE Theater in January 1971. YOUNG SHAKESPEARE, never before seen and heard, now 50 years after the performance, becomes an album and film to be released in late 2020 on Reprise Records. ny
