Quote from Steven Fromholz site:
"I hooked up with Stephen Stills on his first solo tour in the
summer of 1971 and traveled all overthe world with a bunch of
rock and roll crazies...
Since that time I've continued to play music and writesongs."...

Craig Hillis Talks About Fromholz
A Fromholz fan, friend and sideman.
During the winter of 1970-71, I was a regular visitor at the Fromholz-Lake
homestead in theRockies high above Boulder. Gold Hill was a rustic
community of artists, university types andpine-huggers with no
stores, no paved roads or other related commercial blemishes.
It was abohemian heaven tailor made for an aspiring songwriter
from Kopperl, and a picker's paradise
for an energized rock and roll sprout from UT. Our wooden guitars
came alive in the high, dryair and Steven's big baritone filled
up every corner of Janey's front room. The isolatedmountain environment,
the warmth of Steve and Janey's hospitality and the cozy song
sessionsaround the pot-bellied stove linger as magic moments in
my musical upbringing. I learned agreat deal about songs and how
they came to be and, thanks to Steven's patience, I developedsome
guitar skills that, in a very small way, contributed to his inexhaustible
store of originalworks.

A Stephen Stills quote on Colorado
from the Crosby, Stills and Nash Bio
by Dave Zimmer ©
"Also in Colorado, I met some real down-home people
who had no particular illusions about who I was. To them, I
was just Stephen. I liked that. It helped me sort out a few
things and brought me back to an understanding
that there's more to life than just rock and roll.
I began to paint; I was a Rocky Mountain rescue
volunteer, as well as an auxilary fireman."
