My sister just reminded me that today is Gram Parsons' birthday. She and I have always been fans of Gram Parsons; so it was nice that she IM'd to remind me of his birthday! Happy Birthday Gram; and thanks for all the wonderful music! | ||

Here's a little Gram for ya'. Don't do it all at once. It's a twofer, so don't quit too early. The second tune is one of my all time favorites; back when I used to try to sing, I loved singing this song. | ||

Here's a song that my old band wrote about Gram, which also turned out to the title track to our CD: http://tinyurl.com/35kbw86 | ||

Wolf; I'm thinking that's Barry Sless, who's also played with Phil Lesh, David Nelson, and many others. | ||

Edwin, What Bass were you playing in the recording? (Message edited by sonicus on November 06, 2010) | ||

That was Barry on the steel and Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth playing fiddle. I was playing my modified '67 Starfire. It was a really fun record to make! I didn't the bass was represented as well as it could have, but it's not a bass-centric record. | ||

"Live from Northern Quebec" medley - thanks Dave! I recall playing in a hotel in Fort Coulonge, Quebec, and one of the patrons obligingly broke a glass during the intro to "Hickory Wind"...it was, well, fantastic. Always loved that album. Rick | ||
