Daddy came to a lot of the shows in the Plymouth Special Deluxe. We played up and down the coast at little clubs and bars, rarely more than two or three hundred people in the crowd, sometimes less than one hundred. Johnny Talbot, Billy’s brother who lived with his wife Ellen on the ranch, handled the road manager duties. One of our best shows was in La Honda, a redwood town in the mountains near the ranch. The place we played was called the Boots and Saddle Lodge and it had a dance hall with a little stage. The bar adjoined the dance hall. It was very rustic with log walls and a beautiful stone fireplace. Daddy parked the Special Deluxe in the parking lot under the giant redwoods and we played great that night. “Country Home” was brand-new then and we played it for about twenty minutes. The Boots and Saddle burned to the ground in a suspected arson fire some years later and nothing else was ever built on the spot where it used to be. I can still see Daddy in the green Plymouth under the redwoods every time I pass by on my way to or from the coast. Neil Young Special Deluxe October 2014
