of all them guys

"guinnevere" is a song crosby wrote in memory of a woman
he loved dearly who was killed in a car crash.
david crosby is the BEST of all them guys. he's a very intuitive singer-type musician. originally his thing was based on being really good at harmonizing with other singers, not merely singers, but the BEST singers, david was the guy who could accomodate them in any register, up high, or nested in the middle of a layer of voices, which is much harder. he was able to specialize like this because of his incredible talent and aquired ability to sing... sing ANYTHING. sing WITH anybody, he could sing with the goddamn beatles,
he was that good...
then he started composing music. being an intuitive musician, as opposed to a technically trained musician, he built his composing path out of the quirky elements of his unique talents, his alternate tunings on guitar are his own inventions, and he advanced into the territory where you have a chord, and then there is another chord playing "over" it, and those two chords join to make a poly-chord sound. this is how jazz was built, combining blues chords into poly-chords. david crosby always tended towards sounding "jazzy" but he didn't sound like that new orleans tradition, he sounded like david crosby. this song "guinnevere" was a milestone in his growth, and a turning point that led to an incredible gold mine of personalized genius. "deja vu" is a mind blower, and his singing on that brings his ever present gift and melds it with his later developed composition gift, and he blossomed into what i would call an example of the very best of the best. it doesn't get any better than david motherfucking crosby.
perhaps you doubt my histrionic ravings and outlandish conjectures about this dude? ok, check out miles davis' album "circle in the round". one of the tunes on it is "guinnevere" by david crosby. it was recorded around the same time as "in a silent way". miles davis didn't play "bullshit", he played the "very best", and ONLY the best. miles was playing crosby's masterpiece long before any of us heard this song. i told you crosby was the best. now you tell me one thing...
did i lie?
