Chris Hillman (Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, the Desert Rose Band), left in photo, and Herb Pedersen (Desert Rose Band, and other groups with the likes of Jerry Garcia) took their two-man tour to the Narrows' Friday night.
They played the roots of what became country rock and arguably the roots of some of today's country music as well as alternative country or Americana.
These guys met back in their late teens, and have been together on various projects ever since, including the Desert Rose Band, which is reuniting for a few gigs very soon.
Highlights included "Turn Turn Turn," lyrics by, as Chris noted, King Solomon, "Eight Miles High," as well as "If I Could Only Win Your Love," which Emmylou Harris and Herb had a country hit with as a duet.
Chris played mandolin and guitar during the show, and Herb played guitar. Both united for gentle harmonies.
Your humble blogger snapped the above photo "backstage" (actually in a room behind the audience) a few minutes before show time.
After the concert, Chris and Herb were generous with their time, signing CDs etc. and posing with fans for photographs (including one with your humble blogger).
