Dewey the drummer came in - played drums - and we didn't even have a bass player. So, I had to hire a studio bass player. And I played rhythm guitar and then there were three instruments on the basic track. And then I overdubbed four more guitars and a harmonica and my voice. So, really that isn't much of a group you see when you get down to it. Only two people from the group played on it and the group idea wasn't there. I figured if I was going to do that, I might as well do it by myself. Since my original intention was to do a solo thing ... since I was doing it and giving the credit to other people ... and didn't particularly care for giving the credit of what other people were doing.

I'd like to do a song now for my son Zeke. He couldn't be here tonight. He's on vacation. Neil Young Royal Festival Hall, London, England November 10, 1973

The group was falling apart by this time. We all worked separately in studios. Dewey on drums. The Sunset Sound receptionists boyfriend on bass. The rest is me. Neil Young Decade liner notes 1977 [note: Per John Einarson - "Gary Marker was not 'the boyfriend of the receptionist at Sunset Sound' but a seasoned studio musician and husband to the woman in question who soon went on to work in the Springfield’s office.” ]
