Working on a story for tomorrow's paper and thought I'd post some paragraphs here ...
Roanoke Civic Center’s management company and a local advertising and sponsorship agency could put a lot of new advertisements on, in and around the civic center — and even give the venue a new name.
Chris Hillman, a co-founder of The Byrds, The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Desert Rose Band, comes to Kirk Avenue Music Hall on Friday night with his musical sidekick, Herb Pedersen.
On this podcast, we play name association with people from his past, including Gram Parsons, Clarence White, Vern Gosdin, David Crosby and John Jorgenson. Hear that and talk about The Byrds' place in history, as well as what refired Hillman's passion for performance.
