River,
Interesting stuff. Musical genius that he was, I'll bet there was more going on than just alcoholic breakdowns. That seemed to be an easy explanation for the unusual behavior at that time. Remember stories of Grover Cleveland Alexander ? They always assumed he was playing baseball drunk when it actually was epileptic episodes. Didn't Bix die very young?

Actually, it was during prohibition and he was drinking really bad bathtub gin, and a lot of it. It's thought that the toxins in the stuff hastened his demise, and were the cause of most of his uncontrollable behavior. Remember the old movie with Kirk Douglas, "Young Man With a Horn"? That was the Hollywood version of his story. There are also some good VHS & DVD documentaries available. The books Joe Mosbrook mentioned are really interesting reading! Sadly, Bix really was an alcoholic and died at the age of 28 in 1931. But his music lives on! Riverbabe

GREAT NEWS!!!...I got one of my Christmas presents yesterday...A Digital Camera...As soon as I read the 30 page instructions and figure out how to use it you will be inundated with more photos of me than you ever dreamed possible.

But I hate to take up all the storage space of this forum, so I set up a Special Super Duper Website just to post them:

Yeah...that's right...Hmm, now what kind of good keywords can I use to get those high paying ads to appear?...Maybe I'll call myself "Mr. Foreclosure"

I'm not too handy with computers so could anyone tell me how I could put

"Would you buy a used car from this man" under Doug's picture ? Thank you.

You are not as dumb as everyone says you are Billy

But seriously...Back in 1970 when I was a Jr. in High School we had to take one of those Kuder Occupational Tests...I don't remember any of my scores, however, the Top score I got was "Used Car Salesman".

One job that I think I would be excellent at is selling High Risk Auto Insurance...When I had my little advertising company I had 5 or 6 Insurance Brokers as clients...Near as I could tell from talking to them they made an average of $10 in commissions for evey dollar they spent with me...Of course they had expenses but that always sounded pretty good to me...Doug

Here ya go Billy..... You know? One of the wealthiest men I personally know owns an insurance agency, and he's always got a car or two for sale on the side. He just sold a mint condition "1961" Corvette to another buddy of mine for a HUGE chunk-0-change....
