Tried so hard



This is a Gene Clark song, written a few months after he left the Byrds in 1966. The singers in this version of one of my favorite unsung bands, the Flying Burrito Brothers, were Rick Roberts, later of Firefall, and Chris Hillman. Parsons had left the band at this point, maybe he was with the Stones making Beggars Banquet or tooling around the Mojave. If I cared enough I would check but I obviously don't. But whoever put Parson's picture on this video was completely off base. Like putting up a picture of Pete Best.

One of my favorite songs by the Burritos is not on Youtube yet. It is called Hand to Mouth. Hope that somebody uploads it soon.

My mother in law, Ruth, is in the home stretch. She has been a great friend and the best mother in law and I will expound soon. Running down to the hospital again.
