Neil Young might be as acerbic and ornery as his barbed-wired guitar solos can be, but he also has a generous heart – particularly for benefit show – that can be as gentle and sweet as some of his acoustic work.
Last Saturday he hosted the Harvest Moon benefit concert about an hour north of Los Angeles at Lake Hughes with one of his longest friends, Stephen Stills, and John Mayer, who seems to love to jam with Woodstock legends.
Together they raised money for the Painted Turtle camp for children with chronic illnesses and The Bridge School which incorporates music into its treatment supporting kids with severe speech and physical impairments.
