What a pono time the VIP dinners were with our Kickstarter supporters.
It was incredible meeting those of you who were there, and feeling the passion you bring to the pono movement.
Thank you so much from all of us.
Welcome to the pono experience.
You, our Kickstarter Supporters, will be the first to use our beta website and music store. We welcome your feedback and comments, as they will help us to ensure the best service for music lovers.
We will offer a very large selection of ponomusic.
All ponomusic is 44.1/16 resolution or higher, up to and including 192/24 resolution. 44.1/16 is the resolution that is used on CDs.
We are continually in contact with artists, producers, and record companies, requesting the highest resolution possible for their music.
Some artists’ works have been provided to us in multiple resolutions so we are currently processing these files, eliminating all but the highest resolution from our music store.
As a Kickstarter supporter, if you purchase ponomusic and files that are higher resolution become available then you will be eligible to receive free upgrades for life, because we greatly appreciate your support. You are pono.
BNB is back up and running, thanks to a team dedicated to keeping the work of The Baron, and others before him, alive – years of collecting Neil Young-related news.
BNB is a vast warehouse of Neil’s music, tour dates and setlists, videos, reviews, projects, activism, awards, benefits and more.
A lot has happened since our last post in April, 2104. The Baron (Rainer) left us too soon, on a new quantum journey through the universe. Neil was just finishing up a solo performance in Chicago.
None of us could have known all the changes that were coming. Neil’s actions since then have drawn a rollcoaster of controversy, debate and differing opinions. Never a dull moment.
Stay tuned. It will take us awhile to catch up. As always send Neil news our way. We welcome critiques and updates from roving reporters.
First of all, thank you to everyone for the BEAUTIFUL tributes to The Baron that were posted on Human Highway. He would have felt honored.
Thanks to everyone who helped to tell Rainer’s story, sent pictures of time spent with him and shared remembrances of his life, also in videos and song.
I dream’d in a dream I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth, I dream’d that was the new city of Friends, Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust love, it led the rest, It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of that city, And in all their looks and words.
Review of first Chicago show. Neil plays again tonight, Tuesday April 22. More reviews from Human Highway roving reporter to come.
Chicago Tribune review of the Monday, April 21 Neil Young solo acoustic show starts:
“His eyes shaded by a black fedora, Neil Young strapped on a guitar that once belonged to Hank Williams Sr. and leaned in, as if ready to whisper in someone’s ear.
‘Come a little bit closer, hear what I have to say,’ he sang near the end of his sold-out concert Monday at the Chicago Theatre.”

WOW. Thrasher’s Wheat had the honor of publishing the best Neil Young concert review ever by Bucks Burnett, who attended the April, 18, 2014 solo acoustic show at the Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, Texas.
To read journalism like this is to be in the presence of greatness. WOW again.
Sit back and enjoy the read of your life.
It’s titled: “Why I’m Not Here Anymore.”
“Last night was not a concert. It was a congregation being blessed by snake oil from a traveling salesman. But this guy carries the real stuff because we are healed from our earthly concerns. This was a very rare example of paying $200 for a four million dollar show. He took us away and we are not coming back. I do not want to hear music today or talk to people today. Or be seen. I want to be alone with this vibration in my soul.”
“Well its not like Neverland or anything. We just have horses, cows. We don\\\'t have a giraffe, we don\\\'t have a preschool group. We had some emus for a while. They were pretty cool. ” by Neil describing his ranch (Broken Arrow), Details Mag, circa Feb 2004.
