Footnotes

CSN:
The cover photo for the Crosby, Stills & Nash album CSN was taken aboard David Crosby's schooner boat called Mayan. Initially, Joel Bernstein took a more serious photo of the band on board, but they later preferred a second shot of them laughing, which then became the album cover. Crosby owned and sailed this boat from 1969 to 2014, and it served as a significant part of his life and career.
