(With excerpts from the liner notes of "Firefall's Greatest Hits" on Rhino Records by Stephen K. Peeples) As dusk enveloped the spectacular vistas of Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park, California, a huge pile of wood lay stacked at the edge of a high cliff. Nature lovers from far corners of the world gathered on the valley floor, waiting till dark when the woodpile was torched and slowly pushed off the cliff, the burning logs forming a blazing cascade down the mountain's stony face. The image of the primitive light show, staged at Yosemite for tourists, stuck in Florida-born Rick Roberts' mind for a long time. Then in l973, as he and his new Colorado based band were about to play their first gig but still needed a name, the image flashed back: Firefall. Th More... (Submit New Firefall Lyrics) (Submit New Firefall Lyrics) Review about Firefall one way of self expression, but what´s the bottom line? | Reviewer: Vasco Zappia ------ About the song Strange Way performed by Firefall What´s the bottom line on this song? although I like it very much, I wish to know what the writter was trying to say. I understand everything comes in a form and shape but preffer to get to the bottom (meaning) Where is Rick Roberts? | Reviewer: Ajay Kalra ------ About artist/band Firefall I really need to know. Not only is it criminal that Rick never got the individual recognition due him, I need to interview him for my dissertation on studio construction of pastoral spaces, at which Rick was the maestro--witness the career-launching pastoral masterpiece "Colorado." I would deeply appreciate any info anyone offers on how to contact Rick. I know Rick Roberts | Reviewer: terry jones ------ About artist/band Firefall I loved the evolution of the sound begun with groups like Buffalo Springfield and The Byrds. The Eagles came out of this amalgam,and this music is all harmony and wonderful magic. I have been impressed with my old buddy Rick since the early 60s, when he penned "Cry Mother Goose and go Home". Rick has always had a voice that was startlingly good, and during his salad days in Washington D.C. we always had a lot of fun, and our singing was the best. Back then, around Dupont Circle, we sang with John Hall, now a Representative, then a leader of "the wad", then leader of Kangaroo, then Orleans, where this super talent had hits. Rick was in awe of John Hall; we all were, along with genius guitarist Teddy Speleos. A crucible to form amazing artists, most of whom are unknown of course. Rick is and was a terrific songwriter..Where is he now?
