[Dr. Thorne]

I used to play coffeehouses back in the 70s and included a section in the show called "You Can Write a Neil Young Song!".

I asked the audience for three letters between A and G. Then, I asked them for a few random words.

Employing a typical Neil Young flat-picking style with lots of hammer-ons, I would play those three chords and make up a meaningless song using the random words and singing in a weird falsetto.

It always got big laughs because Neil Young is a joke.
