With Poncho in the band and me living down in Zuma on the beach, I started writing. The first song I wrote there was Cortez the Killer. Sedan Delivery, Dangerbird and some others followed. ‘Zuma’ was recorded in David Briggs’ house on Point Dume, high over Zuma beach. Late night/early morning, after recording, I would walk the two miles up the beach to my house, trying to come down from whatever drugs I might have taken. I know I am lucky to be here today. Two songs we tried and did not get were ‘Powderfinger’ and ‘Sedan Delivery’. They didn’t make the cut for Zuma. Neil Young NYA - Album of the Week - Zuma September 4, 2019
