I can’t take credit for the artwork, I just clipped and pasted it from the internet. I have a fair amount of painting and multi media talent but unfortunately portraits isn’t one of them.

I gathered they weren't your portraits, was just assessing them as portraits. If I saw the 'young' Young portrait by itself I might guess it was Neil because of the dark hair and chops, but the features are off.

Thanks man - I really appreciate your insights related. I have just no reference to know what's what. I mean, I had both hips replaced (bones sawed-off etc) which went smoothly (the heavy-duty drugs probably helped...) - but our hands are where the rubber meets the road. Or at least it was before we all started walking upright!

Hands are a big deal. Becoming a hand surgeon is a long ordeal - full residency in plastics or orthopaedics followed by another residency/fellowship in hands. There are a few sub-specialties that are a huge amount of work just learning what you need to know: hand surgery (orthopaedics/plastic surgery), movement disorders (neurology), electrophysiology (cardiology) to name a few. Strangely, some things that you would think are very complicated aren't; transplant comes to mind as it is a team approach with each having a very specific but limited role.

As for the insights I can provide, it is the least I can do. And I always do the least I can do... ;)

I am happy to help you have a good recovery. Take care.

This excellent doc by Jim Jarmusch on Crazy Horse has a great scene where the then current Neil/CH is performing a show in Germany, playing "Like a Hurricane". The camera drifts up above Neil mid song and when it slowly drifts back down, JJ seamlessly edited a performance from '76 of the same song. (brilliant!) The difference in Neils guitar approach was huge - the original raw and passionate and the recent version angular and deconstructed. For me it brought Picasso to mind -

I know there is a lot of people here who don't care for NY, so I'm only posting this for those like me who do. For those who don't, no need to beat a dead... (wait for it) crazy horse.



...oh, and it's not "the year of the horse trailer" Mike...
