"The argument about where we sang first-I went to Joni’s with Elliot Roberts & that’s when we were at the kitchen table with the ladderback chairs. The day before we’d been at Cass’s & when Graham joined in it was like a mushroom cloud going off. It was wonderful.” Stephen Stills

It’s impossible to reconcile so many amazing people in our industry devoting their lives to caring for others through heartfelt hospitality, and then seeing the cold-hearted horror of what happened yesterday in Buffalo. Pained and angry.
