Jon Corneal who was in International Submarine Band and the Flying Burrito Brothers with Gram still plays shows here locally in Polk County. He holds a Bible study at a coffee shop every Thursday, too. He tells so many great stories, some about Gram..I love hearing them all.
Man, his experiences were so varied, intense. He met and played with so many of the notables in the music industry and and went down so many paths in his short life.
His sister, little Avis along with her 16 year old daughter, was killed in a boating accident in Virginia in 1993. I really like his Hot Burrito 🌯 Number 1 song. His voice has such an emotional sound to it.
Damn! He died on my Birthday. How did I not know that?
Wild Horses was one of my favorite I never knew that Graham had recorded it I hope I can find it. It must be beautiful. I sure wish my honey was here to see this. The first trip he ever took me on was to New Orleans if we had known that there was a grave site for Gram Parsons. We would have gone and paid our respects with a bouquet of flowers. I have truly enjoyed this thank you so much.❤
Graham had the freedom to live anyway he wanted because he came from a wealthy family, and received a yearly inheritance of more than 100 thousand dollars a year. Back in the early 70's that was a lot of money! Still is!
Wow, I wasn't aware of that wealth. Perhaps living a life with no real challenges is what discouraged him. Very sad.
$100,000 in 1970 would be worth about $750,000 today.
Gram's stepmother lived a few blocks from me. I remember meeting his pretty step sister. She had a son named Gram. Thanks for your info. I used to wok in the same building where Robert Parson's had his office.
My Dad was directly on the front lines in WWII. According to my Mom the man that left was not the one that came back. The VA used the diagnosis as Shell Shocked back then. He told her he and some friends went to a psychic I believe in Italy and she told him he would return home but would live a short life and would die on a quiet country road at night in a car accident close to the place he was born. He blew it off. Welll……..I was 4 and due to his drinking my Mom left him and took me. That night he came by and told her he was going to his brothers and wanted to take me. She refused because he was drinking. She even had to call the police who told him if the Mom says no then it’s no. He was mad and burned rubber leaving. He got about 80 miles where he and another drunk did a head on in excess of 80mph and he was killed. The other driver lived with serious injuries but checked himself out of the hospital to attend my Dad’s funeral. Weird! Funny thing is I literally remember everything. Everything I’ve written I can visualize. He died 20 miles from where he was born and is now buried. He left weird instructions on things he wanted when he died. That was honored. This story brought me back to those memories.
My father served in WW2 and had PTSD, and he took his own life. He wasn't diagnosed either. It's a shame that they didn't know more about that back in those days.
I would day, didn't care. They used those men in experiments and war and don't care. It's really sad
I'm so sorry.
Wow!!! So sorry for your loss.
My father was in WW2 as well; he didn't say much about his service but I do know that he was a Corporal in rank. I also know he earned some medals but he went into music after the war. He became a classical violinist and was always happist just practicing or performing in concerts. My mother was also a violinist and they had a good marriage. I think it's key that we pursue work that makes us happy and productive; it takes our minds away from things that try to destroy us like war(s) and being a soldier in them. Other people have suffered PTSD when young - just from being around others that are destroying themselves and hurting the people / family around them.
Thankyou Jordan and Jah for sharing Gram Parsons story . He was so young when he passed ,but left us great music to remember him by . I hope his soul is at peace wherever he is . RIP ⚘️ Gram Parsons thanks for the music 🎶 🎵.
Gram's father sent them off on the train at Christmas when he committed suicide...tragic!
His mother died on his high school graduation day. If these two events didn't rock his world, what would?
I attended the JTI 65th birthday celebration for Gram in 2011...the member from Int'l Submarine Band, Ian Dunlop performed and joined in the party. He invited me to his next performance in San Diego but I was unable to attend.
There's a group on Facebook that honor Gram, 24/7/365, if that ain't love. One member has a shrine dedicated to him in her home, I asked her to see it and she was gracious enough to invite me. Truly a labor of love, I was not disappointed!
The Stones weren't so generous, they introduced him to heroin and Mick was a bit dejected due to the Keith/Gram collaboration. I think they even asked him to leave the house in France.
Thanks for visiting him. I hope to one day visit NOLA, we've met at the inn...he's got a fun loving, mischievous spirit. I remember the night he died and where I was...I didn't know at the time, and once I got older, I was fascinated by his story.
🙏🏽❤
I remember in 1995 , out of nowhere Emmylou Harris put out a 4 🌟 album Wrecking Ball. Wish there was more footage of her & Gram.
Wonderful tribute Jordan. A talent that doesn't get enough recognition. I love him and remember him back in the day real time. I also wonder who ended up with his music catalogue that just disappeared? I've wondered if the Eagles were pumping out some of Gram's songs and who knows who else.
Interesting!!! I will be very curious to hear about it if it is revealed!
Gram Parsons needed to put in writing his last wishes to avoid the confusion and misunderstandings of those last wishes. But in the end the family or whoever did the headstone for his grave did a beautiful job. Very informative video. 💐
This makes a fitting and beautiful addition to your collection of Gram Parsons Vlogs. When played altogether they make a tremendous documentary. Many Thanks Jordan.
Your vlogs are so well researched and informed. Thanks so much Jordan.
I was a fan and still am of the music of Gram Parsons. I was acquainted with Chris Ethridge through his younger brother and father who was an engineer at the local television station. I still have an original copy of the first album of the Flying Burrito Brothers. A fine album that has held up to the passage of time. The music of Gram Parsons is still great to listen to and it’s held up as well. Too bad about his early death because he no doubt had would have produced more memorable music
It is amazing how Gram lives on. I hope to be able to visit his grave and pay my respects very soon. I've been meaning to for a while.
Thank you so much for all these videos. My husband turned me on to Gram Parsons when I was 23. That day forward I love Grand Parsons and I was so heartbroken when my husband told me that he had already passed. Him and Emmylou Harris we're so good together and I got to see her at the riverfront in Shreveport Louisiana. Such a beautiful voice. My husband would absolutely love your website. So much history. Thank you so very much. God bless you and keep you safe through your travels. What an amazing exciting life you have. Now back to the video about Gram Parsons.😉❤😢
💋Such a crazy story! I remember your previous vlog so now seeing his grave brings the story full circle. Thanks for being the best at what you do. Loved seeing Jah. ~Love&Light♥️Carli
Ditto! 💗
Gram had such a short life, but achieved so much musically. I loved him, RIP Gram. Thanks Jordan and Jah. Love you too. Nancy from Vandalia/
This is another one of those times I regret not having the internet back in the day. Rest in peace Gram Parsons.
I'm from Winter Haven Florida. He's definitely a favorite son. Thanks for sharing!❤
Awesome video, I live in Joshua tree CA, born and raised 44 years, loved all the Info you have about GP ,learned more from you than growing up here.
The first vlog of yours I ever watched was the one where you stayed at the Joshua Tree Inn. I am a longtime GP fan & you tell his stories so well. Thank you, Jordan…safe travels
I have always been intrigued to know more about Gram’s personality.
Jordan....What a storyteller you are. The insight you have on countless subjects is beyond reproach...I am 63 and have been a Gram fan for most of my days....Thanks again!
What a beautiful head stone! It seems to me as someone put a lot of thought and love into it. So nice to see jah!
Jah is soo cute!!
Thank you Jordan this was an amazing video that you did of Gram, You did excellent job and l like the tradition with the cowboy hat i think it was a great touch. it was good to see a clip of our pal Jah the handsome pup. Jordan keep doing which your doing i love this channel see yah on the next video.
Hi Jordan....my wife and I love and watch your videos all the time.....I've been a Gram Parsons fan for 49 years! My first album of his was on 8 track! ....Im also a huge Neil young fan....Carole King ....Big ABB fan.....Gregg Allman.....etc....we both love Laurel Canyon....thanks for the great work ......
Thank you for this tribute. Fantastic singer/ songwriter!
I have a gram Parsons guitar pick when he was with the flying burrito brothers
Gram had a roller coaster of a ride in his young life. I believe that some people just know that their lives will be short. Gram was one of them that knew he time on earth wasn’t going to be long. Gone way too soon and never will be forgotten.
Graham probably would have lived a long life if he hadn't been handed everything he wanted. He never had to get a real job. He received over a hundred thousand dollars a year from his family. He drank, drugged, and partied it up. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It was his life to live. But to suggest he was destined to die young...., I don't believe is true. He had a great life regardless of how long he lived.
@@michaelharrington75 yep sounds like he chose that
I was just listening to his music a few days ago. Such a great voice. Always wondered why he was buried in Louisiana. Glad you were able to make it out there. I also rewatched your other Gram Parson vlogs! This was great!
Gram Parsons is one of my favorites. Such a short crazy like he had.
Love Gram! A photographer friend of mine took many shots of Gram. Jim McCrary! He said Gram was super shy! I evacuated New Orleans from Katrina in 2005. I attended a few funerals here.
Omg, you go to so many places I want to go! Now, I live local to NOLA and this is one I could get to easily but I haven't made it yet. I have got to make it a point next time I'm close to visit and pay my respects even though I know it's not what he wanted. So cool to see that so many others here remember Gram, too.
I didn’t know anything about him surprisingly until my Dad passed. His last favorite song was Hickory Wind by Gram Parsons & we played it at his Celebration of Life after the memorial. I know it was his favorite bc I asked him before he died. No other song. Which Is shocking ftom all the years we know of my Dad over the decades! I chose the one Gram sang with Emmy Lou Harris. It’s a beautiful song.
I’m thinking she must’ve had a thing with Gram or just grateful. She was new to the scene & was able to go on to do her own thing / probably due to Gram Parsons. Looks like Gram knew talent when he heard it.
That was a very beautiful 🌹 heartfelt vlog I loved gram Parsons I just hated he passed away so young and wanted his body destroyed like that is what hurts me but I pray 🙏 God bless his soul and give him peace 🕊️ thanks Jordan for this vlog you are the best in
There is a right way to do it , his friends did the wrong thing just my thoughts 💭👍🏻
@@ginamaria2579 I'm with you on that they should have never did that to him and Jordan has a vlog I saw before saying something about a flood or something that what little of his body may not be there anymore so sad I will have yho back through his vlogs and watch it again
Hi Jordan, what a lovely headstone. So sad that drugs ended yet another great talented musician's life. Great vlog Jordan.
Gram passed away the day before Jim Croce died.
Gram is a rare example of an artist who's talent or stardom takes a backseat to the shadow he cast and those he influenced.
Enjoyed that so much, thanks for doing such a great tribute to our hero Gram. May he rest in peace. x
Agree about Gram's life & the many tragedies that formed his genious! & many tragedies that formed his genious! Emu Lou brought a degree of musical discipline that was instrumental tohis last work! I love the story about he & the Byrds at the Grand Ole Opry violating their rules about his performance of Hickory Wind!! Perhaps you could say Gram was the 1st real outlaw!! R I p &the Jordan!
I don't know if anyone else mentioned this, but Gram's graveside neighbor, Delmo Crow Jr., was the brother-in-law of Dr. John.
Crow was the brother of Lydia Cecile Crow Rebennack, who was married to Dr. John, aka Malcolm John Rebennack, from 1963 to 1974.
There should be a movie about Gram his life was amazing yet complex, he seemed like a good guy from what I read about him in Pamela Des barres book I'm with the band. Good video Jordan 😊👍👍
Really? I read that book a LONG time ago and didn't remember Gram being mentioned. Wow.
Check out Grand Theft Parsons. A little known movie starring Johnny Knoxville and Christina Applegate.
Excellent vlog on Gram Parsons. A lot of great information on Gram's life and death.
Jordan I noticed in one of the photos of Gram he is wearing. An Army Air Corps wing and prop pin and Majors insignia on his lapels. They probably were his Dads.
Thank you for showing us Jawh on his ride with you to LA. I love your little dog, he reminds me of my dog .
I love your videos ! I know I'll never be able to visit any of these Notable Places. Keep 'em coming !
Hi Jordan, enjoying your videos in London,U.K., you are awesome! Thanks for this one,and all the others!
that previous grave marker was truly sad. this one is beautiful.
Gram’s music stands the test of time. Great then, great now
This is another great vlog Jordan. Love the Gram stories. I also love the Johnny Knoxville movie. Grand Theft Parsons.
Thanks for the video, man. Gram was just the best.
What an amazing life in such a short span. RIP 🙏
OH MY GOSH , JORDAN ~ YOU JUST DON'T KNOW - I SO L💖VE GRAM PARSONS SO VERY MUCH !!! Thanx Ever~So for doing THIS GREAT vlog !!! He was DEFINATLEY A "G.O A.T." ( GREATEST OF ALL-TIME) FOR* SURE !!!!
Hi Jordan,,, love your little Jah… may you and little one be Safe … hugs for Jah !!!!!
He had A special Relationship with Emmy Lou Harris.she was said to be devastated over his death. That's when she met Linda Ronstadt..who helped her through it.
The Joshua tree was a great vlog,have seen all the Graham Parsons vlogs, cool that you got to stay in his room, beautiful vlog, ty for taking us to his final grave
I'm glad they did as he wished. He was a beautiful man.
JORDAN...I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.....Did you know that Emmylou Harris was a part of Gram Parsons band from 1970-up until Parsons died in 1973 ?
I thought this was a cool fact that I didn't hear you speak about in this video.
How odd?...was that?...and she sang with him on their record "Love Hurts".
Gram was born on November 5th not 7th . You'd think they'd fix that . 50 years today since he passed . Rest Peacefully Gram
Another great vlog, Jordan. I saw Gram's nudie suit when I visited the Country Music Hall of Fame. It is displayed there.
Hi Jordan and Jah! I'm so glad ur still doing what u do a great job of! Give Jah a love pat for me. 😊
He was an amazing songwriter.
always loved the Sweetheart of the rodeo album, and a fan of the duo in the 80's named after the album, the Sweethearts of the rodeo
Gram does have a strange story with the body being snatched and attempted burning.
Chris Hillman played mandolin in my Dads bluegrass band before the byrds.."The Golden Stateboys"
Safe travels Jah and Jordan Great job Jordan
Nice video, when I seen the exit for LSU I automatically thought of the Pete Maravich story you shared.
Great stuff Jordan!
Thank you
Hi Jordan..I remember when you did the other video about Gram..and this one just as good..you are always so informative..I loved ❤️ seeing Jah..take care & God Bless
Thank you Jordon ,next time I will watch all 3 in order.
I barely remember the Byrds, it’s was so long ago! Wow the 60’s I was just a kid. When the Byrds were around I was just a little kid I turned 10 in 66. It figures that the Stones stole Wild Horses! Man I was born November 10th, I hope my kid never screws that up! I expect to be cremated, I do not want to be stuck in the ground rotting where my soul will suffer! Well Jordan, now I will have foisted to some of the Byrds music.
Great vlog. Always liked Gram Parsons.
Your depth is astonishing. Excellent.
Singing that orange Dome 100m time I was raised down there by Winter Haven in a little bitty town called Auburndale
Great vlog, thanks Jordan,RIP Gram,.I liked the little shot of the superdome at the end of the vlog,remember when hulk hogan said silverdome in the ring at wrestlemania infront of thousands of fans in the superdome a few yrs back and had to apologise. Haha.
what an interesting story, and sad to . thanks tor the drive.
I loved his music. Such a tragedy Bizarre story of his death. I woke up with the television on, Grand Theft Parsons was playing. What a confusing mess.GreT musician, influenced so many people. Wild Horses (Rolling Stones) was Graham's song.
Not much of GP fan, but a fascinating story. Have been to the JT Inn and the Rock in JTNP a couple times. The National Park Service does its best to remove the shrine that keeps springing up at the site. For my mind his Real Final Resting Place!
Hi Jordan, thanks for your beautiful vlog, you are the best.👍❣ I'm just wondering why the tombstone has an incorrect date of birth. Gram's birthday was November 5th. Wasn't the tombstone placed by his family? The family should know when his birthday was
Hey brother I love the song hickory wind an the nudey suite was awesome to
Grams birthday is Nov. 5, how did they mess that up? Why doesn’t someone clean his stone, it’s depressing
Good vlog. Glad Gram has a nice headstone. You and Stay safe and take care.
Thank you for sharing it.
I sure learned a lot from this vlog, Jordan, I need to see what I can find on UA-cam about him, I don't think I have ever heard his music before. OMGosh, 26 is just so young, it's so sad. I believe I have seen the other vlogs that you have done on Graham, but I barely remember them, I'll check them out again too! Once again your vlog was so well done & very respectful, thank you, Jordan!!! 🌼
Nicely done, certainly more interesting than most of the video presentations about Graham Parsons. A True Musician.
I think his step father thought if he was buried there he ( step ) would be entitled to the estate? Not sure
when I saw you were in New Orleans I was wondering if you would go to his grave. I have become such a huge fan of GP since seeing you vlog in Joshua Tree! I so hope to get there this summer! I went to the Country Music Hall of Dame and saw his Nude Suit. I listen to him everyday now!!!
Omg he’s buried in my city. I have to check this out.
HEY, JORDAN & JAH..
How are you doing...
Well you got me back In to Graham parson
Music when you did your frist Joshua tree Video I had been Aware of his music and listen to him back In the 1970's but since Have started listing to his music again and He's one of my favorite
Old new musicians and the grievous Angel albums Is my favorite Grand parson record's
But love your flying Burrito Brothers Recordings as well So
Just wanted to say thank you for getting me back Into his musiOK Take care stay safe and will see you on the next video project
Another great post. Thanks for sharing!
What a life! 💝
Gidda Jordon & Jah from Adelaide, South Australia.
Very enjoyable.
Thank you
I just learn so much from you.
Wow, Phil... what a friend!
I love your little dog❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Furthermore - Id like to add / That I had no idea that he wrote, love hurts! Wow! I also relate the great song Mr Tambourine Man to my Dad. I didn’t know that was a Gram Parson song! I find it crazy that I didn’t know much about him & I find it crazy that I didn’t know much about Gram Parsons wondering why my dad never mentioned him until just before he passed. I’m glad we played - Hickory wind - for my dad.
Hi. Gram wrote Hickory Wind, probably about his yearning for the happiness he had known in the south before his father died of suicide. Love Hurts was written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant and sung by the Everlys. Gram and Emmylou recorded a heartbreaking version for his solo album. Mr. Tambourine Man was an early Byrds hit. Gram was in the Byrds later for the Sweetheart of the Rodeo album. He was a soulful singer. So glad you like his music.
Another great video Jordan I don't know why I didn't know him herd him before but didn't it was him I like it thanks
That bridge you crossed in the beginning is called the Pistol Bridge. It’s one of Louisianas most dangerous bridges. I hold my breath every time I cross that sucker.
What breed is your dog? Really want to know. He is so good natured. Once in a lifetime dog.
