At the ranch, while rehearsing for the [1974 CSNY] tour, I wrote a new song called “Hawaiian Sunrise.” It seemed like every day I had another new song. With all the changes going on in my life, I wrote songs daily, turning the changes into something. I always looked at occasions in life as inspirations for songs. We were singing so easily. It was flowing. We were all high on weed and excited. Crosby called up Peter Fonda, and we sang “Hawaiian Sunrise” for him over the phone from my cabin living room, all four of us. It was the best we ever sang it. To this day, I’m sorry we weren’t recording it. That is one of the biggest lessons I have learned about recording music. “Get it while it’s hot.” Every song has its moment, and we let that one escape into a telephone.
