Notes
Here's a new song for you. One you haven't heard, it don't think. Unless you were in London. Anyways, it's a song about a place called Cocoanut Grove, Florida. I was living in a houseboat there on the end of the dock. I had the very end (...) this funky little houseboat for a week or so. I just happened to be passing through. And here's a song I wrote there. Neil Young Apollo Theatre, Glasgow, Scotland April 2, 1976
