The RIP Thread...

[woodworkingboy]

Stirred my memory, Al. When i was living and working wood in north California, I needed some Ash bending stock, so i responded to an add in Fine Woodworking magazine and ordered some, I think from Ohio. Some amazingly wide clear boards showed up, too good really to cut into the small strips that I needed to do with it.

Lordy, we need someone to die and get this thread back on track.

I met Gram Parsons of the Flying Burrito Brothers. A cousin of mine was renting a house to him in Laurel Canyon, and we went over there to fix something. We started talking and my relative mentioned that I was playing some guitar, and Gram asked me what I was into, seemed like a super nice guy, no famous guy attitude at all. He had a number of young LA crowd guys that were around and holding ovation guitars. They were very much looking down their noses at me, but Gram wasn't that way at all. He died shortly after.

Cool story, Jay.

I spent lots of time getting into trouble as a kid while listening to the Beastie Boys. MCA was my favorite member of the band. He was still pretty young considering how long the Beastie Boys have been around.

 

[Husabud]

Bummer! RIP MCA

 

[MasterBlaster]

RIP, Goober!
