    I heard Juanita from The Gilded Palace Of Sin yesterday; not a bad track. I also heard Gram's version of Love Hurts a few days ago. Nice song but it's been over-covered.

    Wow Lou!!! I can't draw a straight line so I am very much in envy of your talent. These are incredible - I thought I'd bring them over to this new page. You should be very proud!

    Thanks so much, Dreamer!

    Julie, Gram's vocal on Love Hurts is just gorgeous. When I first heard it, it made me view the song in a completely different way. A beautiful melody and very emotive.

    I heard How Much Ive Lied earlier. Forgive typing on phone cant do this sorry.

    ETA: I was indeed using The Border from my phone yesterday as our internet connection was down. Interesting experience which I wouldn't necessarily wish to repeat.

    Wonderful, Lou!! I always envy those that can do this. I had a surprise from a friend of a painting of my Pagey. I just posted it in What's Happening. Again, wish I could do it but I'm like Dreamer--can't make a decent stick figure.

    I really like Love Hurts with Emmylou Harris. Beautiful!

    I retouched the Gram sketch today. Very subtle differences (mainly in the nose/mouth area) but I'm much happier! This is a close-up of the finished drawing.

    I so wish there was more footage of Gram performing. I do love this, though. One of my absolute favourite songs, and he is so cute. Love that floppy fringe! The moment that he turns to the band and smiles at about 1:58 is adorable.

    A couple of very cool pics/backgrounds from the official Gram Parsons website www.gramparsons.com. Well worth checking out!
