007scallywag ~ Graham Nash WAS The Hollies. He was a founding member in 1962. He left in 1968 to form another band that you may have heard of: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
Yes, @@TheGalwayFarmer that was a real surprise. Discovered that fact this evening as I listened to Graham Gouldman perform Bus Stop on acoustic guitar.
"Bus Stop" is a song written by English singer, songwriter and musician Graham Keith Gouldman and performed by British Band The Hollies in 1966. "Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say please share my umbrella..." Graham Nash is a founding member and joined the band "The Holies" since September 1962 until December 1968. Graham Nash left the group in 1968 to form the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash, CSNY (with Neil Young), and solo career. This acoustic version of the song is amazing and has the collaboration of Shane Fontayne (born Michael Barakan), English rock guitarist, session musician, audio engineer, and collaborated as a guitarist and producer in 2016 Nash album "This Path Tonight". Memory is living. Worth.
Had the pleasure of watching Graham and Shayne play this in Halifax this week. It was a brilliant night. Also, Grahams book related the story of how he and Allan Clarke went to a young Graham Gouldmans house to listen to this and “Look through any window” that the young man had written. They snapped them up but missed out on “ No milk today”. That was promised to Peter Noone 👍🏻

Graham tells the story about going to see a young songwriter to humour the songwriter's mother and he plays this, Look though any window and No milk today. not sure if the story matches the history but it is a great story. BTW they wanted No Milk today but Gouldman had always promised that to Peter Noone.
The guy only wanted to know how green was the "grass" in the other side of the puddle... otherwise he would never have returned to The Hollies as he did afterwards... when his carer with CSNY was finita because the excesses.
Great story HOW the Hollies came across this song.... Their manager pestered them to visit his Neighbour. who wanted the Hollies to hear their 15 year old sons songs... That turned out to be Graham Gouldman..who became a founder member of the band , 10 cc .
Same song, sung acoustically by Graham Gould - the guy who wrote ''Bus Stop'' and MANY others. Outstanding version. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-86GtSP6XBeU.html
They're playing in the key of A minor. Graham plays the open Am chord because he doesn't have a capo. Capo on the fifth fret with an Em shape is Am in a different voicing, which is what Shane plays.
Come on. I broke out laughing. You may prefer them but 1000 times? I’m a huge fan of Stills. He was the real deal in that group. Southern Cross is a wicked tune.
@@ollielindsay§ The Hollies were fantastic so were CSN common denominator Graham , I may be bias as he is my cousin but there are millions that would agree
Femai Ben Rigiel a song performed over 50 years ago and you insult the man who is still singing it and has done a damn good job? WOW,you are a real downer aren't you.
WinterCity Knight. Not really. I think he did well. His legacy will be respected and no I am not a downer you said? I am only expresing my opinion... I adored his voice even though when some jerks stated that he only was a sort of "stuffed" voice when he was with The Hollies and even when he was with CSNY. Times goes by and this is not the beutiful voice he had once. Greetings.
