I don't even remember that....but Cameron's mom did strike home as I used to his house in mid-afternoon and she would say, "Oh, he's not home from school yet."
Thanks for sharing about Gram. I liked his music and became somewhat obsessed after reading Ben Fong Torres’ biography, Hickory Wind. I spent my high school years down San Diego way and saw lots of concerts at the Sports Arena including a multi act show in ‘68 featuring Buffalo Springfield, the Byrds,Turtles, Box Tops and Linda Ronstadt with Stone Poneys among others.

Howdy Greg, my name is Hapi McKenzie, I'm a songwriter in Tampa FL and perform with my wife as The Crabgrass Cowboys. In 1985 I wrote a song(you tube/Crabgrass Cowboys) titled Fire On The Desert you may find fun to listen to.
Hapi&Patty-The Crabgrass Cowboys will be performing this song along with 8 others I wrote about the life and times of Gram Parsons at the annual Gram Parsons Guitar Pull Festival in Waycross GA for the 26th year on October 13th 2023.

I’ve been a fan of Gram Parsons’s music for years. Thanks for keeping his memory alive.
