Friday December 1st, 2017 will be a night that Neil Young fans and the Town of Omemee (12 KM north of Bethany) will remember for a long time.
Neil played a solo concert for over 90 minutes at Coronation Hall. He brought is own 100+ year old piano with him that he purchased in the 1970’s for $1,500 along with a tree stump that was a gift from the First Nation’s community in Nebraska.
About 200 lucky fans got to watch inside. Hundreds more gathered outside. And the whole thing was streamed world wide on the internet.
A few years ago I sold a house on Mt. Nebo Road, high up on the hill overlooking Omemee. The owner told me the song Sugar Mountain was about that property.
Thanks Neil for coming home!
