What exactly is a B-Bender? A drink? Guitar? Style of playing the B-string
on a guitar? Early version of the wonderbra? As for why he and Hillman
aren't more recognized, I can only surmise that they had the nerve to not
die "tragically." Plus, Gram is a cutie, and those guys are just regular
lookin' Joes (anyone who cares to deny that element of the cult o' Gram,
well, I just happen to have the last Strat that Jimi Hendrix ever played.
Just like new. How much ya want for it?).
By the way, is the G. Parsons to which "Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man" is
co-credited Gram or Gene?
Lance . . .
