Stevie Hill: people

FLASH BACKS
Jerry LaCroix
I auditioned for Jerry for a band he was forming in Dallas. The group was working from charts with lots of single line parts, 32nd notes included. I've gotten better at reading, but I mangled all that fast stuff. My high school friend Rockin' Ron Thompson drove me to the audition, & was later hired for the drum slot. I didn't get the callback. If you ever stood that close to Jerry when he was singing, the power was supernatural.
Arthur Lee
I auditioned for Arthur Lee once. I don't if he ever put the band together, I just know I didn't get the call back.
Neil McCoy
more soon...

IN MEMORIUM
Selected images of those in the memorium section appear at the last of "photo archives".
NICK TAYLOR
Bloodrock guitarist. "I have much to say about Nick, but it is too soon to express it. Nick stood to my immediate left when the band played, so you can imagine how many hours I heard him play his guitar. He always played with great precision and feeling, regardless of what unearthly sounds I was making. He was a man of talent, stamina, patience, character, and a sense of humor--exactly the qualities that make an exceptional friend and bandmate."
MIKE COTHAM
Mike worked as Bloodrock's road manager, although there would be many more impressive phases in his music career. He had great people skills. When we were touring, he would regularly solve problems that seemed to have no solutions. He was a kind soul. Mike's idea of humor was everything from direct to extremely subtle. He often would say something that made me laugh to the point of gasping for air.
STEPHEN BRUTON
"Stephen was an enormously talented and well-liked musician. Few players from Ft. Worth have reached his level of success."
MITCH MITCHELL
"It was amazing to see him play live. He always acted as though he was just one of the guys in spite of his great talent and accomplishments."
MEL GALLEY
Great player, writer, & singer. When he was injured, he kept going with "the claw".
TERRY KNIGHT
Terry was essential to the success of Bloodrock. In the studio, he got the best results in the least amount of time. In the studio, Terry would say that my first or second solo was the best one, and he was right. He died in an act of heroism.
