Thanks Tom,

I've got the Buffett sites in South Alabama, Nashville (remember that song
about payin' the mini-mart back) and Key West.  Don't think we'll make it to
the panhandle this time but you just reminded me of Tom T. Hall and Sopchoppy.

Thanks,

Deb

It's weird -- I've read the same things about Gram's place -- "styled on
Amsterdam . . ."  I don't think we're going to stay there because we don't
have reservations but they were more than happy to let us look around and see
any Gram memorabilia they have.  I also got some weird vibes.  I'm not anti-
gay either.  Maybe it's a nudist bed  breakfast with hash g  Anyway, I'll
be with a big burly guy just relocated from San Francisco so I'm not afraid of
anything.

Thanks for your take though,

Deb

I'm not sure what the go is with Gram's place - a friend of mine went there
and said it seemed "a little weird" and has since refused to elaborate - I
could ask her again - I have heard that the place is promoted as being
"gay-safe and friendly" and is modelled on Amsterdam-style holiday resorts.
I'm not trying to suggest any kind of anti-gay bias at all - there's a
website for it somewhere if you wanted to check it out for yourself - i
think it's linked to Larry Klug's Gram homepage.

 I'm heading to North Florida and perhaps central Florida for work on my
 book
 for a four day stint this weekend.  I know there aren't a lot of
 southerners
 on this list but there are a lot of very knowledgeable folks.
 
 I've got a list of sites and stuff to look for but thought others here
 might
 have recommendations.
 
 I've got things related to Gram Parsons, Gamble Rogers, Tom Petty, Lynyrd
 Skynrd, Jim Morrison, Jim Stafford and that's all I can think of without
 consulting my list.  And you all know I have a really bad memory so . . .
 
 I'd welcome any Florida sites, Florida musicians past or present (we're
 not
 including South Florida) so anything Tampa north.
 
 Has anyone ever stayed at Gram's Place?  The BB in Tampa that's supposed
 to
 have Gram Parson's memorabilia, etc?
 
 I appreciate any tips.
 
 Thanks,
 Deb
