One night in 1964, Gene Clark heard Roger McGuinn performing his Beatle-esque folk songs at the Troubadour in LA. He liked what he heard and introduced himself to Roger. They began playing and singing together. David Crosby came in one night and sang with them, putting on a third part harmony. They decided to form a band which became the Byrds.

Before Baez and Dylan, before James Taylor and Joni, before Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, before the Byrds and the Eagles and before Bruce, there was Woody and Pete.

In 1958 my family drove to Hannibal, Mo. to see the early childhood home of Mark Twain. I loved his books Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Before Katie and I were married, we drove to to John Day Monument in Oregon, in my 1963 F-150 pick-up truck. It was dark when we got there. We slept in the bed and we awoke in the morning to a wonderful display of the painted hills.
