Young’s brother debuts song

-

Neil Young's brother, Bob Young, has written and recorded his first song at age 78. The former golf pro's tune, Hey America, is focused on the U.S. presidenti­al election. He recorded it with a band he has named The Peterborou­ghs, featuring his brother on harmonica. “I didn't set out to become a songwriter and singer at 78 years of age,” Bob said. “I was watching Donald Trump on TV a couple of years ago and wrote down a few lines. When I got home, I found I could play those lines on guitar. Gradually, it became what it is now.” Neil directed the song's video with help from his wife, actress Daryl Hannah.
