Gram, thank you for the music and the inspiration. I wish I had heard your music earlier in my life.

Chris & Joe – amazing book, what a trip.

Chris, It’s taken me almost 5 months to catch my breath after our quick into at Waycross- I read your great book, and fell off my chair when I realized the day you were in Room #8- only the spirit of GP himself could have orchestrated such a crossroads-this was exactly the same day I was THERE! Not to stay overnite, but I opened the unlocked door ( the inn was deserted because of the music fest)and went in! Only to find a gymbag on the foot of the bed, I assume was yours- took a bunch of pics, -savored the moments as it was desolate, and almost eerie, but a perfect memory. The next day we found cap rock, and left our own mementos – a pirate sticker, and rock-formed cross. – headed out across the desert. My pilgramage was the exact opposite course, from Winter Haven to Joshua Tree, and all the same stops, and wack-o experiences – Memphis, Nashville, where the music would lead. So your book was such a dejuve (?)- and so hilarious, no one could have enjoyed it more- I lived it, and you told about it! So much I could share with you guys – hope will have a chance next GP pull- also, latest Gram twist – the guy who claims to have taught GP the guitar -I believe him, visited me on Tues, and I will catch his show tonite- … and what color was the Calico bonnet?

Discovered you very late Gram, but love you all the more. Many trips to Joshua Tree NP and room 8. A Song For You, everything with Emmlou (I knew her before you did at the Red Fox Inn in Bethesda, MD) and The Guilded Palace of Sin. You still tear me up. Happy, happy birthday!!

Made an offering of tobacco on your grave in Louisiana as a Native American friend told me it’s one of their customs to offer this to the departed one’s spirit. Thank god the spirit of your music is still living on. I continue to thoroughly enjoy it to this day… I’m glad you broke down the barriers between classic country music and rock n’ roll. I’m glad there are contemporary artists from time to time that will create in the “cosmic American music” medium.

I’ve stayed in Room 8 several times. There is always a dove hanging out in the courtyard. I have my suspicions…

Gram had what 99% of musical acts DON’T have…he had IT. He is IT, and will always be IT. Amen.
