I've never posted on this board and I've never thought I'd be that guy that posts a request for a song, especially one that isn't uncommon, but here goes...

My father in law (Ted) was recently placed in hospice care after a nearly decade long battle with Parkinson's, and he's really struggling right now. This song is one song that I introduced him to early when I met him to try to win him over, because I new he appreciated older rock and thought he might enjoy this one. My wife has become a huge Neil Young fan in the past several years (particularly everything on Mirrorball, especially I'm the Ocean). Additionally, my mother in law went to the same high school as Eddie and had Clayton Liggett as her drama teacher (though long before Eddie), and like Eddie, he had a huge influence on her. All of these connections would make it extremely powerful for me and my wife to hear on Saturday as my family is going through this hard time.

All I can do is throw the request out and hope. Thanks, y'all.
