I gotta go re-read "Hickory Wind" and "Blown Away..."

Steve Pride & His Blood Kin used to do "Brass Buttons" every now and then.

Nice job posting that clip!

However, Gram saw the need to up the stage presence quotient of the Burritos and started wearing more fancy get-ups (scarves, occasional eye make-up)and working stage moves into their act. Chris Hillman commented to this effect in the new Parsons documentary, "Fallen Angel." I definitely want to read those books you reccomended, too. Thanks, Don!
