Attitudes about accepting drug addicted people into the rooms have changed drastically over the past 50 years. However, I believe it's a regional 'thing'. Most groups in most areas no longer have an issue with it, but there will always be exceptions. The program is not a 'one size fits all' deal, and AA has very few rules, outside of the 12 Traditions. Please don't allow the prejudices of some to color your view of the larger Fellowship. Most important of all, 'keep coming back'- your life depends on it.

Their duets saved my soul more times than I can count and I still miss him for how his music positively affected my life. Gram's and Emmylou's relationship was always so intriguing to me. I felt she must have tried to save him but in the end she could not overcome his addictions. And I'm sure there was at least a great fondness for one another if not love. There had to be - you can just hear it in their singing together. His music was life changing for her, for me, and countless other fans.

I had heard that it was contract issues which made them take off Parson's voice. He was apparently still under contract to a different record company than the Byrds. Now I'm not sayin' he didn't piss off Roger McGuinn, but I think McGuinn respected Parsons enough that he wouldn't just take off his vocals out of spite. It was a very complicated relationship due to Parsons' addictions.

It was Jamey Johnson's intent in putting this tribute album together to get Hank Cochran elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame, which did vote him into the CMHOF posthumously in 2014, as the great songwriter passed on in 2010. I know you will enjoy this immensely.

I have been listening to the Byrds this week, even more so since the announcement of David Crosby’s death yesterday. Included in my listening was the Sweet Heart of the Radio album. Parsons joining the Byrds significantly influenced the Byrds move toward country-rock from its origins as a rock band. I find Parsons, including Emmylou Harris, more suited for Americana-Roots genre than Country music. It’s the blending of folk-bluegrass- rock, without the slick Nashville sound - and this is especially true of ‘70’s Country music. I first saw Emmylou in concert in the mid-70’s soon after she formed her HotBand. She opened for Willie Nelson and Ricky Skaggs was played guitar-fiddle-and mandolin. Emmylou always had the best musicians in her bands, including Sam Bush (formerly of the progressive bluegrass band New Grass Revival) and Rodney Crowell. These singer/songwriter musicians transcend genres. And like Emmylou, these days, are rarely, if ever heard, on country music stations.
