Gram Parsons-Interview, Holland 1972

[@LindaCafaro]

Love him so much, what a great talent❤

[@MFSII]

I am an old man 77. I knew Gram when he was in High School in Winter Haven. He worked at a music store in Lakeland. We met when our group would go to this shop to buy supplies. We were a bunch of R&B local twangers at college. Gram sat in with us at a few club jobs. : 1962-63. we were older, I had some tapes of him, with us , doing jobs. Gone. We knew he was very talented and creative. No drugs or booze in him back then. His voice on this tape saddens me. Our town, Winter Haven was a town that had more churches than bars. Michael Staryk

:( The trappings of stardom :( Thank you for sharing that, Michael

[@melcossio]

I’m sorry to hear that the tapes are lost.

It's ok, his voice shouldn't sadden you. There's no difference between the poisoning of tens of millions of people on anti depressants and alcohol. It's no different. Life is too short.

[@terriqueen3315]

Was Gram Parsons born again ? Did he sing in Church ?

[@BrendaChristensen]

I'm from the South and grew up not far from Gram in the 60s. And all my relatives talk like this. Lazy drawl. Hypnotic.

[@SisterofTheMoon63]

Have signed the petition. Love Gram's beautiful soft voice. Very calming. Love him. Gone too soon but never to be forgotten xx

[@lanabanana68]

yes indeed.

[@mysteryjesus]

Wow, thanks for sharing all of this great and rare Gram Parsons material! I never knew some of this existed!

[@regionalconflicts]

He always sounded like this, high or sober.

[@jojoheartspaypay]

@Jennifer Griffithe He was, I'll give you that, but so talented so talented too..lets reward him for that, he deserves as much..sign the petition...

[@therealfronzilla]

Gram, is stoned out of his mind and his soft voice has this guy hypnotized...pretty damned funny

[@krikeymate]

He is really gacked in this interview. What a great talent, but so damaged. Read Bob Kealing's wonderful biography "Calling Me Home". Great interviews, rare previously unseen photos and a comprehensive history of his formative years in Central Florida and the rich musical scene that existed in the early 60's.

[@lanabanana68]

thankyou.I enjoyed David N.Meyers Twent Thousand Roads very much aswell :) Such a tragic story,when you come from a family who's made their fortune from oranges and has their own "special family juice" i.e. alcoholic,you really have the odds stacked against you.Poor Gram.

[@suzannersmith5942]

His addiction genetics, plus damage from his dad's suicide, plus his emotionally distant and physically mostly isolated mother, plus all of that money to allow him to drown/obliterate his sorrows with alcohol and drugs, really did him in. He had no firm, loving hand to guide his way growing up and give him a sense of self-sufficiency.

[@ptownscribe1254]

Sounds pretty articulate to me.

@rattlesnakeblues it does NOW :D Thank you for watching :-D

[@IIIElijah]

Graham loved Christ and was from Him.

[@terriqueen3315]

How do you know iff he was born again or not?

[@jojoheartspaypay]

@mysteryjesus Thank you!! I'll add some more soon, though there's not much left..and spread the word and the petition! God bless and good day :D !!

[@BennettPatten]

Jet lag and time difference as well as microphones from that era will give this type of recording.

[@bluegreenface1193]

Everyone says he sounds fucked up here, from all the stuff I've heared he always talked like that, southern drawwwl and all

[@terriqueen3315]

As much as he did in his short time , I think all the drug taking ( constantly ) is a myth...

[@peteosinga8845]

Anyone able to translate the interviewer

[@jojoheartspaypay]

@Hanelore81 it's peeps like you who recognize!! Watch, listen, sign the petition..GP's star will once again be on the rise!--to the country music hall of fame! :D

[@univibe23]

Stoned but coherent.

[@BillyBogart]

This is definitely cool. I can't help but thinking Gram was talking Scooby Doo and had done quite a bit before the interview and before his bowl of Cheerios...Ha!

[@jojoheartspaypay]

@krikeymate I'm all over that Krikey :D don't forget mojo n uncut mags :D GP on the rise this year!!! :)

[@jennifergriffithe118]

Such a sweet voice, and what a waste, but Gram was damaged.

@mishypark now that's awesome :O :D

[@evandando3168]

The tape is clearly running fast ... sounds like anyway ... he wasn’t in coke ...

[@dacethejackofhearts7209]

Like pretty much anyone round this time he was smacked out of his mind

[@TELEthruVOXx]

So gram is to blame for the Eagles

[@lanabanana68]

no,they are to blame for themselves.
