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 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:

Yes, he had a few reckless habits.

Edwin, I like that tune .  I like the musicianship  all around. All good players  . Your chops tie it together just right. Love that steel player too .

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

Well that's why my ears must have been  telling the brain YES !

Edwin, What Bass were you playing in the recording?

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.
