in Greeley Colorado in September 1976 I met Rick Roberts and Firefall and he was so nice to me - he had written a song with Stephen Stills and Chris Hillman of the Souther Hillman Furay band - it was called It Doesn't Matter- take a listen it is a good song

The beginning section of the second song reminds me a lot of Moonloop by Porcupine Tree. I'll bet anything that this was part of Steven Wilson's inspiration for Moonloop!

I agree with your take on Colorado winters, Nick. I lived in Boulder for six and a half years. In terms of temperature, it's never that bad, compared to the mid West. The high desert climate reduces the humidity in the winter, so it doesn't chill you to the bone like it can in other areas.

Love that Stills song, as well as the rest of the Manassas album. Can’t decide if his first solo album or this one is my favorite - I’ll call it a tie. Didn’t know the other songs, but thanks for the introduction, Roundabout!
