Broken Arrow Magazine #134 - The Final Issue

Back in 2014, much to our dismay -- and many others in the RUST community, as well -- Broken Arrow Magazine, published by the Neil Young Appreciation Society announced its final issue.

(See more on Broken Arrow Magazine To Cease Publishing - The Final Issue for NYAS?.)

But hope springs eternal and wee just received this note from NYAS's Scott Sandie that life goes on for BA!


Hi,

This is Scott Sandie, your old editor from Broken Arrow. This email is going out to all the old NYAS members who are still in my contact list.

For the past year or so there has been a working party preparing all 134 issues of Broken Arrow magazine for free online release. That project has reached the end of its main stage, and some 8000 magazine pages are now ready for viewing and search. Tom Hambleton has very kindly agreed to host these pages over on Sugar Mountain and has done a really great job in laying it all out in his inimitable fashion.

The link is: Broken Arrow Magazine | Sugar Mountain


You will see that can browse and open each issue. You can search on keywords from the index and access pages that way too. Each issue is roughly a 15MB PDF file, so it is a little slow loading up if you have a poor connection. To look at one page, you have to load the entire issue into memory. Tom has also been working hard on making it mobile friendly, so it might work on your phone as well.

So drop by, have a look at the magazines, carry out searches and generally play about in the pages. See what you think. And if you find any glitches please let me or Tom know.


Regards,

Scott

Such great news Scott! And many, many thanks Tom on Sugar Mountain for coding and hosting.

On a personal note, we've known Scott & Tom for decades. Both Scott & Tom are a true gentlemen in every sense of the word, ultimate Neil fanatics and they have our undying respect for what they've been able to accomplish.

Broken Arrow Magazine has meant so much to so many, and the end was never easy. But what can you say other than......"Thank You!" Scott Sandie, Tom Hambleton and the incredible Neil Young Appreciation Society & Sugar Mountain | Neil Young Setlists!!!

Peace & Love
