Re: Music Archives of Neil Young



A coworker and N. Young fan tells me that the apparatus allows handicapped
people to operate Lionel trains, or maybe generic model trains. He seems
quite certain of it.

Makes sense to me...I've read that he is a big model railroad fan......

Not only is Neil Young a talented (and prolific) musician--he's also the
holder of a medically-related patent!  I don't know the specifics but I
believe Young designed a special apparatus with his son in mind who has, I
believe, either MS or cystic fibrosis.  Maybe someone else on the list can
provide more information.
