Documenting some major and minor moments in the world around me, social and aesthetic, as it goes by.
Gram Parsons grave marker in New Orleans. Birth date is out by two days but it's better than the tiny circular marker that was there 16 years ago. I like to think Keith & the Stones paid for this, out of what they owe him for "Wild Horses". He had a famous and illegal private cremation at Joshua Tree so there are not much of his true remains here. Rest in the wind you loved and loved to sing about Gram.
