Brass Buttons is a song that Gram wrote about his mother. She was in the hospital with some sort of disease from alcohol. Potentially liver cancer. But she died in the hospital. There was a conspiracy theory that Gram's step-dad gave her alcohol in the hospital and that was what killed her. No one knows for sure. But this song was written by Gram before his days with the Byrds or the International Submarine Band. It eventually ended up on "Grievous Angel"
