“Polio swept through #Winnipeg in the early ’50s. Neil had it and I did too. So did my brothers. We all had it at the same time. But Neil was always very focused. It didn’t matter what obstacle was there, he overcame it. I felt the same.
Neil and I were among a bunch of teenage guys who were learning how to play guitar and starting #bands in Winnipeg. Every Sunday, there was a #RadioShow called Hello Britain, where they’d play all the top hits from #England. It might be #ShaneFenton And The Fentones or Cliff Richard And #TheShadows. Then it was just The Shadows or #TheOutlaws. We copied all this stuff and played it on stage.
We’d get the bus to the community centre and Neil would be there with #TheSquires. We’d stay there all night and watch them. I was pretty amazed when he started playing the folk clubs on his own. He radically changes his mind and his direction, to the shock of everyone. But then, he’s done this all his life. I used to go the #Riverboat [Coffee House] in #Toronto all the time. I saw #GordonLightfoot, #JoniMitchell and Ramblin’ #JackElliott. It was quite fantastic. I saw Neil many times there, just acoustic. I’d think, ‘Yeah, he can do it. He can be a folk singer.’
When I left in ’65 to tour the States with #TheGuessWho I sent a note back to Neil, saying, “You gotta get out of town. This is where you really get appreciated.” So he left and went to #ThunderBay, then #FortWilliam, and met #StephenStills. Then – boom – he started #BuffaloSpringfield.”
Randy Bachman telling Neil Young to, ‘get out of town’.

The Corran Ferry, which carries travellers across Loch Linnhe south of Fort William and serves as a portal to so many remote and wonderful places. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/corran/corranferry/index.html

The less than obvious remains of the Old Fort, or Fort William, after which the town visible in the background is named. The fort was built in 1690 on the site of a wooden Cromwellian citadel. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/fortwilliam/oldfort/index.html

In terms of drama, the stunning region of Lochaber in the western Scottish Highlands, is probably up there as having some of the finest landscapes I have come across in my travels around the UK.
It's often marketed as the 'Outdoor Capital of the UK' centered around Fort William at the foot of mighty Ben Nevis.
This view is looking west across Loch Eil towards Glenfinnan on the 'Road To The Isles'.#scotland #lochaber #fortwilliam #mountains #monochrome #landscape #photography

Inverlochy Castle near Fort William. Built from around 1280 it was overtaken by history not once, but twice: first by a Cromwellian citadel built in 1654 and then by a Scots baronial style Inverlochy Castle built not far away in 1863.

This former fishing boat, originally built in 1975 as the MV 'Dayspring' and later undergoing a name change to 'Golden Harvest', lies wrecked on the shores of the Scottish Highland's Loch Linnhe, near Fort William.
The boat ran ashore during a heavy storm on 8 December 2011 and that's where she has been ever since.
The 'Corpach Wreck', as it is known, makes for an arresting sight as it sits on loch's shingle beach against the backdrop of Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis.
I have visited and taken photographs at this spot numerous times, but it has been a rare occasion indeed to be able to capture the 'Ben' cloud-free.
In fact, if you zoom in just to the right of the boat's mast, you can make out the mountain's final section of footpath as it zig-zags up to the summit at 1,345 metres (4,413 ft).
