Quill (band) - After Woodstock

After Woodstock

Jon, who was, in many ways, the driving creative force in the band, left several months after that release to pursue other production projects in which he had an interest. With the assistance of New York producer, Tony Bongiovi, the other four members, in a collaborative effort composed enough material to produce and record a second album for Cotillion, but which the label chose not to release. The remaining four disbanded Quill late in the Spring of 1970, going their separate ways.

Roger North ended up joining the post "Easy Rider" version of Holy Modal Rounders after Quill disbanded, moving to Oregon with Steve Weber and the rest of the band (save Peter Stampfel, who remained in New York). He continued to perform with the HMR well into the 1980s, although missed the opportunity to record with the band on what may be one of their best remembered efforts, "Have Moicy," a 1975 collaboration with Michael Hurley and Jeffrey Fredrick and the Clamtones. Roger went on to design the unique North Drums, still favored by some drummers lucky enough to have purchased a kit. He currently lives in Portland, Oregon and plays in the Freak Mountain Ramblers. His son, Tye North was a member of Leftover Salmon and continues to perform with the Piano Throwers, Strings for Industry (featuring Tony Furtado and Darol Anger) and the ever-changing Everyone Orchestra.
