“They were going to perform for him at this party,” he recalls, “and the plan was that some of them would go up and say ‘you’re going to sing some songs’, including Woody, and Woody would get this guitar, and play around with it, and ask David to help tune it! So, that’s what we’re all witnessing, um, Woody pulls out this guitar, called David [and said] ‘Hey, David, this is complicated, I need help tuning this guitar, [and] up, so David went up, sat down, picked up the guitar, started tuning it, and then… we all witnessed this moment when David Crosby realized what he was holding, that it was his beloved guitar that he never thought he would ever see again,” Close said with emotion. “And he knew it by weight, by taste, by sound, and we saw this look come over his face, and then he started to cry…”
“I’ll never forget it,” Close said. He also said he will never forget the “love and determination” Crosby’s friends took to track down the instrument.
“It was an amazing moment,” he would go on to say.
In his tribute to his late teammate, Stills would write, “David and I had a lot of fights from time to time, but they mostly winked at shots, but still numbed us.”
The two would eventually put aside their differences. “I’m glad I made peace with it,” Stills would go on to write. (via Rolling Stone)
