Ode to My Father, Gram Parsons

—- If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. -—

- N.Tesla 

If you know or love Gram —-

You know there is something painfully soulful about his music that reaches somewhere deep within us that most things just don’t ever seem to quite reach. ...this is energy.

We make note of it and we move along, but somehow, some way, we always come back to it.

When we are joyful or hurting, or feeling nomadic, feeling alive or the need to find grounding again. Gram always reaches out to be heard in these moments. He is a part of life that becomes a touch point. .... this is frequency.

One of joys as we go out into the world, is when we find another person on our journey that feels the same way... we find ourselves asking the question “do you know GP? “ and when their eyes light up, suddenly without question we know have a friend.

I feel that in my own life. The only difference between us is my spiritual duty to carry his memory forward. But I see that’s something we all enjoy doing together as well : )

Which is what brings all of us here. In this moment, and I thank you.

If you think about it. For you and for me, Gram has never been just about his incredible ability to touch us with his songs. Deep down there has always been something more about his being that’s captured our imagination. Was it his irreverence? Or his willingness to dream or his ability to shatter into 1000 pieces in front of us through sound or through thought?

Or his ability to do right or do wrong, and love anyway?
Gram is personal, his legacy is personal, how he touched every one of us is personal. The letters my father would write would often be signed, Sound as Ever, Gram. And all of his style and his flair and his world as I knew it , you will find here.

All that I am, is all that he is.
All that’s he is, is right here for sure.
And that, is vibration.

Sound As Ever,

Polly Parsons
