Gram Parsons and Buck Owens. What am I missing here? Was in Border's last night and browsed through a biography of Gram Parson. I have always heard of him, especially of his relationship with EmmyLou Harris. I realized how little I know of his music. Rock music bios to me tend to fawn/gush like sports bios so I probably won't read this bio. But can I get some directions on some songs to listen to that key me to him and his music.

Buck Owens was listed in the same bio, referred to as one of the progenators of the "Bakersfield Sound" I remember him joshing with Roy Clark on Hee Haw and thought that he was kind of goofy. The "Bakersfield Sound." is something I recently heard about. How was this and Buck different than mainstream country?

Can Owens Corning Basement Panels Be Cleaned?

My basement flooded during the torrential rains of April and I need to really CLEAN the water marks on the Owens Corning Basement system panels in my basement. Everyone tells me that once stained, the panels can never be cleaned. Anyone have any other experience? Replacing all 18 panels of the Corning stuff will cost $200 per panel. Fema gave me $200 for my dehumidifier and $400 more for the rest of the damage. A French drain to avoid any other future water is going to cost $4000 and then another $3600 if I simply replace the panels. If I can clean the panels and save the $3600 it would be great.
