Picking up the guitar, Young played awhile and came up with Cinnamon Girl. Then he started fooling around with the chords to Sunny, a top hit for Bobby Hebb in 1966, and that turned into Down By The River. Switching to A minor, one of his favourite keys, Young then wrote Cowgirl In The Sand. Three brand new songs in one sickbed session: a good day's work for a guy in a semi-delirious state.

The Caravan of Stars Tour was actually late 1966. Jeff Beck flaked out and left the tour after the fourth gig (Oct 30, 1966 in Corpus Christie, TX). The Yardbirds went on to cancel three appearances on this tour, two for illness (Nov 24-25) and the date in Little Rock (Nov 4) for an undetermined reason.
