Two demo records cut by Stephen Stills, probably in the fall of 1969. The first showed up on a record three years later, the latter song never saw the light of day, more's the pity. These both dealt with his doomed love affair with the folk singer Judy Collins, who was forthright in her biography about her struggle with alcoholism in these years. It's interesting that alcoholism was present in Stills' family of origin as well. It feels almost like a curse, the way we are forced by circumstance and psychological predeliction to relive our childhood traumas unless and until we face and heal them.
