SUMMIT COUNTY LIBRARY TAPS THE HALLOWEEN SPIRIT, C-3 www.parkrecord.com SQUATTERS HAS BECOME PART OF PARK CITY CULTURE, C-5 C-1 WED/THURS/FRI, OCTOBER 25-27, 2017 Byrds co-founder isn’t ‘Bidin’ His Time’ Hillman will perform at the Egyptian with Pedersen, Jorgenson By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Chris Hillman, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with his former band The Byrds, remembers when he heard the news that Tom Petty, a good friend, passed away earlier this month. Hillman was on tour with his friends, guitarist Herb Pedersen and multi-instrumentalist John Jorgenson. “We were just devastated, and I couldn’t come to grips with it,” Hillman said during a Park Record phone interview from Ventura, California. “I almost cancelled the last four shows of the tour, but Roger McGuinn, my old friend and bandmate from the Byrds, called me and said, ‘Tom wouldn’t want you to quit. You’ve got to go out and play music and celebrate him.” McGuinn’s words changed Hillman’s outlook, and he stayed on the road. “So when we come to Park City, we will celebrate Tom,” Hillman said. Hillman, Pedersen and Jorgenson will perform a three-night stand starting Thursday, Oct. 26, at the Egyptian Theatre. And while the trio won’t be performing Tom Petty or the Heartbreakers songs, it will perform Hillman’s songs in celebration of Petty. The big reason is because Petty produced Hillman’s new album, “Bidin’ My Time,” which was released on Sept. 22, two and a half weeks before Petty passed away of cardiac arrest on Oct. 2. The concerts will feature a majority of the songs from “Bidin’ My Time,” and many songs from Hillman’s 50year career that include The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers. “Normally with Herb I’ll put 70 songs on a piece of paper and we’ll stick to the first four,” Hillman said COURTESY OF THE EGYPTIAN THEATRE John Jorgenson, left, will join Chris Hillman, center, and Herb Pedersen, right, for a three-night stand at the Egyptian Theatre starting on Thursday, Oct. 26. The three will perform songs from Hillman’s 50-year career in music as well as select tracks from his new album “Bidin’ My Time” that was released Sept. 22. about the set list. “Then I’ll call out audibles like Peyton Manning, and we’d change things up. But we needed to have a tight show with John because he’s switching instruments all night.” Still if someone calls out a song that the three know, Hillman said there’s a good chance they’ll do it. “Then it will all be whether or not I remember the lyrics,” he said. The concert may also feature music from the Desert Rose Band, which Hillman, Pedersen and Jorgenson formed back in 1985. “We actually retired Desert Rose Band in the early 1990s, but would occasionally we would get together and play under that name, but the last time we did was a festival in Norway six years ago,” Hillman said. “The good thing is that I’ve maintained such a close camaraderie with John and Herb throughout the years before Desert Rose, and we have continued to work together after Desert Rose.” Please see Hillman, C-4 Fly fishing nonprofit reels in fly tyer for a free presentation Public is invited to hear Glissmeyer talk By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record When the High Country Fly Fishers, the Park City Branch of the environmental nonprofit Trout Unlimited, holds its monthly meetings with special guest speakers, Vice President Dave Allison makes sure they are informative and enjoyable. “Some of our speakers are destination speakers, like Jeff Currier, who is a global hot shot and fishes all over,” Allison told The Park Record. “He catches 300-pound arapaima in Brazil, golden masheers in India and taimen in Mongolia.
