The idea is to occupy Facebook with MUSIC, breaking the monotony of selfies, dog/cat/baby pictures, and cinnamon bun recipes nobody will ever make despite their best intentions. Whoever likes this post will be given a music artist and has to post a piece by that artist along with this text and maybe a personal commentary as to why you chose that particular track or album. Kelley Cain gave me Gram Parsons. Of course, I love everything he ever did whether as a solo artist or with the Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Emmylou Harris and others. I chose a tune he wrote with Chris Hillman and recorded with the FBB called “My Uncle” because it’s one of those songs whose lyrics stuck with me from the very first time I heard it. Check it out: My Uncle A letter came today from the draft board With trembling hands I read the questionnaire It asked me lots of things about my mama and papa Now that aint what I call exactly fair So Im heading for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town cause they dont need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground A sad old soldier once told me a story About a battlefield that he was on He said a man should never fight for glory He must know what is right and what is wrong So Im heading for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town cause they dont need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground, yeah Now, I dont know how much I owe my uncle But I suspect its more than I can pay Hes asking me to sign a three-year contract I guess Ill catch the first bus out today So Im heading for the nearest foreign border Vancouver may be just my kind of town cause they dont need the kind of law and order That tends to keep a good man underground That tends to keep a good man underground youtube/watch?v=FFU7KjASF1E And Steve Earle covering it as a bonus…. youtube/watch?v=rlN2a3zZRqk
