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.
