Chris Hillman is still in flight after all these years.
After growing up in Southern California and embracing bluegrass music, Hillman helped make rock history as a member of The Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers in the 1960s. He then joined Stephen Stills in Manassas in the early 1970s and launched the chart-topping country-music group the Desert Rose Band in the 1980s.
A veteran solo artist, Hillman is the subject of an in-depth Union-Tribune interview about his new memoir, "Time Between." Published by BMG Books, it devotes nearly all of its first five chapters to his time growing up in the San Diego area.
Here are bonus questions and answers from our interview with Hillman, who will turn 76 on Friday.
