| | It is always sad to read about a young musician in jazz history who was taken to early due to substance abuse, but that was a different time and from what I have experienced most of the "junk" seems to be gone now days.. |

Some did have other demons they were fighting, but that would of been the case no matter what their life's work would of been.
To me these people left a legacy of love of music that decades later is still bringing joy and love to new listeners. I say focus on their music and its sad when anyone dies young no matter what the reason.

| | picking up a needle full of drug then injecting it is something every young musician will come to point blanc if you have the intelligence to rationalize the situation it is very dangerous.Some people have studied nursing and to them its not that serious,but if your looking for a new tune from the injection.Watch out |

| | The weed thing is ready to roll you have to admit it there is too many good things going for it.Anything that can stop nicotine is welcome in my books.Then as a medicine pain reliever.Its going to be growing behind every house in the world pretty soon,like it was hundreds of years ago in Europe.

On a lighter note I just turned off my television and the incessant ads for pharmaceutical solutions to my mental problems and picked up my telecaster.
