As the holidays approach, Peter has been getting in the spirit and feeling nostalgic by listening to and singing along with Neil Young’s Long May You Run. Here’s what Peter had to say about the song: “Long May You Run is my favorite Neil Young song. It’s just something that puts me in an upbeat mood. It’s the holiday season – I love the holiday season. And it evokes cool memories of my early years in the U.S.A. We found things to do in stormy weather…long may you run.” What songs put you in an upbeat mood or remind you of good times in your past?
