Gram Parsons - favorite tunes?
 

I'll be playing a Gram Parsons Tribute in Nov - playing 3 songs -

will probably be -

Streets of Baltimore
In my Hour of Darkness -

and in a slight cheat - a song Gram sang but didn't write, Wild Horses [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] (the organizer assured me it was ok - there is a rumor Gram helped with that and basically wrote "Honky Tonk Woman")

any Gram Parsons tunes that stick out in anyone's head? - I got a good chunk of his stuff but haven't gone thru the catalog extensively.

Anyone besides me see Grand Theft Parsons? - (premise - when Gram died at 26 out in the Desert, his manager stole the body and cremated it at Joshua Tree National Monument - this is that story) -

I like the guy - and he laid a lot of groundwork for artists I like as well as myself, but the Nudie suits - meh - LOL
