Still love this song and album in 2023. Bought it hot off the stands back in ‘72,3,4, can’t remember

[@georgiamario9128]

Had to come here and marvel at how much I love still love JCY Ridgetop

[@starcloud4959]

One of the greatest singer-songwriters i've ever heard!!! A singing voice to die for.🌈🎊🥁🥁🥁🎵🎶magic happened between those sound explosions.

[@blusmahn]

They opened for CSNY on the first night of the 74' tour here in Seattle. They were called back for TWO encores ! And I'd have to say that this song and Jim Rothermel's sax intro and solo brought down the house !

[@xenophonon123]

yep- JCY opened for CSNY at the Capitol Center in DC... later that night, Neil Young got into a huge fight onstage with Steve Stills and left the stage- never to return.

My comment is that it's absolutely priceless. Touches my very soul D.B

[@armandoortiz5140]

Great music

[@barbarabeesley7451]

Jesse was such an incredible talent! I don't think he ever got the true recognition he deserved. I have loved his music for decades. I don't know where he is today, but I like to think of him up on his ridgetop, sitting on his front porch, smoking a big one. ♥️

Happy Birthday Jesse.

Musical giant! Rock on JCY.

[@brucemoeller]

Jesse loved his home....but it was destroyed by a fire. So sad. Love the song, and the driveway markers being pieces of granite and chert. Bushes that turn into pie in July. What great lyrics.....what happened to the people who write songs? Peace to you, Jesse.

[@xenophonon123]

+Bruce Moeller nice comment. In response- they're too busy holding up their pants; flocking- texting- ostrich buried into the sand of their machines .

[@zitawillingham4391]

Bruce Moeller great question

[@mudhens4ever]

Bruce Moeller - Never heard of chert until this song entered my life. What is chert?

[@brucemoeller]

Chert is a mineral common to Marin. chert CHert/Submit noun a hard, dark, opaque rock composed of silica (chalcedony) with an amorphous or microscopically fine-grained texture. It occurs as nodules (flint) or, less often, in massive beds. I exchanged a couple of emails with Jesse. His favorite college class was geology...he went to OSU. He used to have his phone number in the Marin County phone book.

[@caswallonandflur692]

@@brucemoeller : heheh To layman like me , it's a a hard flintlike rock that's good for striking a spark on steel to light a fire 🙂 . Peace

My favorite song…

[@debraarnold3703]

He opened for CSN at Capital Ctr, Washington DC, in '74. Stole the show.

Hi, Sweet Unicorn Ridgetop is catching your tracks, in the new fallen snow. But I'll follow them closely to see where they go If they lead to a spot where the poppy plants grew, I won't know where to stop till I'm off riding you... RIP Debbye Your Old Man, John xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
