Stacy Sutherland's Grave (Center Point Cemetery, Center Point, Texas)

My girlfriend and I made a pilgrimage to visit Stacy Sutherland, guitarist of the 13th Floor Elevators, at his grave in Center Point, Texas, outside Kerrville. I serenaded the man with "I Had To Tell You", written by Roky Erickson and Clementine Hall, from the Elevators' 1967 album Easter Everywhere, which was supposedly a favorite of his. During the filming, my girlfriend experienced a pain in her stomach (where Stacy was fatally wounded in 1978) and felt a sudden sadness, although she knew little about his life and nothing of the circumstances of his death before that day... strange goings on in Center Point, indeed.

i live across from the cemetery in center point! :D

even in the early morning there's a certain heavy aura in the air there. @w@;; it''s super quiet/silent in the morning at around 6-7am sometimes. i used to walk around there every morning but recently it's too hot even at 5am! *sigh*

@o0Tamaki0o Yeah, it's a mysterious place. Very Texas.

Nice tribute. I'm an old Elevators fan. Saw them many times in Houston in the 60s and coincidentally now live in Center Point and pass this cemetery daily. I'll make a special stop to toast Stacy.
