A arg Matey do you have a gala event you would like readers to know about Contact Melissa Grabowsky at Melissa. Grabowsky free press. My. Ca y ears ago when i was backpacking through Europe i spent some time in Liverpool and went on a magical history tour of former haunts of the beatles. The bus would pull up in front of Homes that John Paul George and Ringo had lived in when they were babies the passengers would troop off and Many of them would Start collecting souvenirs which invariably turned out to be Flowers in the Garden. I asked John Kiernan who owns the Crescent Wood Home where Neil Young and his Mother Rassy lived before he left for Fame and Fortune in Toronto and then the United states if he Ever loses his Flowers to tourists. No we lost some pillows a few weeks ago but weave attributed it to neighbourhood vandalism Kiernan said laughing. While buses dont Roll by his 1123 Grosvenor ave. Home Young and old fans of Young do show up. There was a youth conference last year and we kept having kids come up to get their pictures taken in front of the House and the eyed jump Back into the cab Kiernan said. Young arrived in Winnipeg with his Mother in August 1960, living in an apartment suite at Corydon Avenue and Hugo Street and then moving in 1962 to the second floor suite in the Grosvenor Avenue House. It was inside that Home a few blocks away from Kelvin High school where he was enrolled that Youngs band the Squires would practise. John Einarson a City author and music historian who has written two books about Young Aurora the Story of Neil Young and the Squires and Neil Young dont be denied said the Grosvenor Avenue address helped the musician Cross the u. S. Border just before he helped found the band Buffalo Springfield. 1123 Grosvenor was his permanent address even when he went to Toronto Einarson said. So in 1966, when he went to drive to California in his 1953 Pontiac Hearse he knew it a snot going to be easy going through Windsor so they went to Sault Ste. Marie. When the Border guard asked where Are you going he showed his id with Grosvenor Avenue and said he was going through to visit his Mother. The Border guard let him through so this Winnipeg address was an advantage to launching his career. During a tour of the Home Kiernan said the building is now a single family Home instead of being divided into main and second floor suites. Youngs bedroom is used by a 16 year old girl. The Walls Are Pink. Coming in the Side door Oak stairs and panelling line the Walls As you walk to the second floor. The family has taped an extract from Ein arsons Book on the Woodwork to Tell the houses history. The living room is used As a family room but a Couch and lamp Are in the same spot that a photo shows the Young family had theirs. The Kitchen is intact and the rooms Are All heated with steam radiators. We bought the House because we loved the House but ism a fan of Neil Young so the Neil Young connection was a Bonus Kiernan said. Young visited his Mother in Christmas 1966, but that was Likely the last time he was at the House. In 1996, when he was Here with crazy horse i was driving Down Corydon when i saw his tour bus Einarson said. Later i Learned Neil was showing his band and Crew the places he lived at. Paul Barber a former Winnipeg Ger who lives in Toronto said he was a year behind Young in High school and never in the House but he attended what was probably a seminal moment in Youngs future career. It was Kelvins operetta in 1964 and Barber said he saw Young perform at a ticket Selling party. One of the acts at the party were Neil Young and Chick Bell and they Sang beatles songs. I read once where Neil Young vaguely remembers singing beatles covers at the Kelvin High cafeteria but i think it really was this time. You can see a photo of them in the yearbook but it Only refers to Chick Bell. I was at that party because i sold the most tickets. Its my Small claim to Fame. Einarson said even though Young a snot lived in the City since 1965, Young himself considers himself a Winnipeg Ger. If he thinks hers a Winnipeg Ger hers a Winnipeg Ger. Kevin. Rollason free press.
