The Columbia is lost, but the dreams that inspired its crew remain with us.

I have traveled the entire state and spent a lot of time out of doors. So I have known the landscape of the Columbia Basin for quite a while, and I have had this strong feeling about it for many years.

I've been following what's happening in Colombia because it's the country of my childhood.

I miss Colombia. It's a great place.

Seeing how those companies operate, it didn't amount to a massive vote of confidence in their artists. There was talk of me going to Columbia after that, but nothing happened. I got disillusioned, and I pulled back.

I was born in Columbia in 1954, the year the Supreme Court invalidated racial segregation in public schools. I visited frequently but did not live there.

It is beautiful in Vancouver; let's face it. I mean, you have the ocean. There's mountains.
