“Wooden Ships” (Crosby, Stills and Nash)

One that actually shows up on two current albums this week in 1969. Written by David Crosby and Stephen Stills plus Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane, it appeared on the debut CS&N album (we’ll feature their version here) and on “Volunteers.” The subject matter is a little disconcerting - survivors of the nuclear apocalypse onboard wooden ships in the ocean. The ships don’t go near shore and have no metal, so they wouldn’t be contaminated by fallout or radiation. Geez.
