9. "Wheatstraw Suite" by the Dillards was seminal country rock....
They definitely came from bluegrass but crossed all kinds of boundaries with that album. One of the Dillards later recorded a couple of excellent albums with ex-Byrd Gene Clark.
As fine as he was, Gram Parsons was not the sole inventor of "country rock". However, he hung out with the Stones--the Dillards played the Andy Griffith show. Gram OD'd at 26--some of the Dillards are still playing.
Andy Taylor: When a man carries a gun all the time, the respect he thinks he's getting might really be fear. So I don't carry a gun because I don't want the people of Mayberry to fear a gun. I'd rather they respect me.
12. anybody see the gang last night on the TVLand Awards?
the Andy Griffith Show received some award or other, and most of the surviving cast members (less Ron Howard) were there to receive it . . . pretty neat . . .
