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.

Hmmm...could someone fill me in on this?  Something about how she's tried

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.

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.

This is not such an awful thing.  Patsy Cline was from Winchester.

 Also  due to bad speed on the mastering,  Billy Joel had his first Columbia

did anyone else notice that?

NOt until at least the promos were in the hands of weasels.  Cassettes went out
fine.  As for audiences, they cared less then about what he sounded like than they
do now.
