Sailing Away: David Van Cortland Crosby 1941-2023

 The New Year has hit our lives in music very hard thus far. First we heard of the passing of guitar prodigy Jeff Beck. Then, just this past week, the Ahmet's House family was hit with the sadness of the passing of CSN founder David Crosby. 

Tonight we focus on this remarkable life, and of course, the music David has left us with. A glorious, boisterous and proud sound. Croz never stopped creating. We feel like we owe it, to someone. Tonight, it's all for you Croz! 

"Wind blowing through my sails
It feels like I'm gone
Leaving with the wind blowing
Through my sails"---Neil
