Questioner: How did the idea for Hank To Hendrix come about? NY: I wrote the song in my house. I sat down with my 12 string guitar and just started playing and writing all at once. I don't think about it. I just do it. I don't think - "now I'm going to sit down and write a song" and then sit down and try to write a song. I didn't know I was going to write a song when I sat down. I'll pick up my guitar and start playing and then suddenly I am playing a new song. I've learned to realize when I'm writing and then remember what I'm doing. Neil Young Harvest Moon press conference, Milano, Italy October 21, 1992
