Had to do with a pre Gram Parsons release on an indie EMU or something like that. The album was entitled Gilded Bird, I believ and its pretty bad even according to her.

Middle-class kid from Washington DC? I don't think so, man - I believe she's from Birmingham, Alabama. Since when does "middle class" mean anything? If I'm not mistaken, Gram came from old Florida money and wasn't exactly born in a little bitty tar hut. Didn't make a damn worth of difference to his ability and he even papered over the cracks that appeared in his story. -Original Message- From: Doug Young [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 29 January 1999 15:39 To: passenger side Subject: Re: Other Artists' Early Work (was Re: Dixie Chicks) Had to do with a pre Gram Parsons release on an indie EMU or something like that.

That's the official legend, and I think she was born there. But as I understand it, most of her formative years were spent in Woodbrige, VA. Definitely a DC suburb. The entire population of Woodbridge migrates north up I-95 every morning to work at the Pentagon. Some social climbers claim to be from Woodbridge when they're actually from Dumfries. -- Mike Woods

This is not such an awful thing. Patsy Cline was from Winchester. linda In a message dated 1/29/99 12:07:21 AM Central Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: That's the official legend, and I think she was born there.

As for audiences, they cared less then about what he sounded like than they do now. iceman
