Cannonball Adderley was one of my heroes in high school. An amazing player who died too young.

Default Hobbies Can be Dangerous to Your Health

I was just thinking yesterday how the many of the greatest musicians of each genre seem to die prematurely. Every time I read articles about today's youth crying out in anguish over yet another fallen rap artist, I just think back to all the other genres. Jeez, it goes back to the days of Mozart (then again, life expectancy ain't what it used to be)!

Funny how some of my favorites are part of this club. I'm only listing my favorites.

From the world of jazz: Charlie Christian, Bix Beiderbecke, Bunny Berigan, Glenn Miller, Art Tatum (I guess he reached middle age, but I wish he had lived forever! There aren't enough recordings to quench my thirst!).

Singer/Songwriters: Croce, Chapin.

Rock: Pete Ham, Cobain, Richard Maunel, Alan Wilson, this list could go on forever.

Bruce- I remember when Cannonball died, in August of 1975. He played on "Kind of Blue", and you need not say any more than that.

Jodi- I was a big fan of Al "Blind Owl" Wilson. Canned Heat was always a favorite.

Barry,

The best part about Canned Heat was the fact that Wilson and Bob Hite owned the world's most extensive collection of blues recordings. They were also partially responsible for the 1960's blues rivival. I'm not a fan of the genre, but I love any rockers who moonlight as archivists!

I knew all about the huge blues archive that they owned.

Once when I saw Canned Heat my friend Tom, who was an excellent harmonica player, jammed with Bob Hite during the intermission. Bob was extremley hospitable, and we were in awe. I will never forget it.

Al Wilson, Bob Hite, and Henry Vestine are long gone now.

I believe the reason for their humility owes greatly to the fact that they considered themselves fans and collectors more than rock stars. John Lee Hooker once marvelled at how Wilson could keep up with his unpredictable changes in tempo.

By the way, I beilieve an extensive biography on Wilson was just released. I can't wait to get a copy.

I would love to read it. Wilson was a consummate bluesman who died at the much too young age of 27. That's a short life to have a biography (I think he went to Boston University; when I was a student there they used to talk about him).

What did you hear about him?

Sorry to everyone else for the "message board for two" aspect of this thread. Barry--you can always send me an email to avoid annoying everyone else with this esoteric discussion.

I know, but since I don't remember what they said, the email would be a little thin. I think they just talked about the fact that he used to be a student there. The details escape me (and I agree we may be the only two people who know who he is).

By the time he was my age he'd managed to be dead for five years.

Yeah, and don't forget all those short-lived blues artists: Johnson, Smith, Jefferson, and the like.

Jimi Hendrix.

About 20 years ago I had the privilege to get a tour of Electric Ladyland studios. For anyone who never passed by it in NY on W 8th St I think (I don't live in NY anymore), you'd know there is no way to even see in from the outside. There's a mural of a spaceship that runs around all the walls. The piano that Stevie Wonder played for one of his early albums was still there. It was a thrill.

My friend had worked there right after Jimi died. Everything of Jimi's was being thrown out. My friend took all the clothes, etc. Ended up selling them about 20 years too soon.

I was thinking Jimi as soon as I saw the thread start taking the direction it was taking. Of course he was one of the most brilliant musicians ever, and he was only 27 when he died. John Bonham and Keith Moon were in their early 30s, Janis Joplin was 27.

John Coltrane was 41 when he died, and there's no telling what he could have accomplished if he had lived as long as Dizzy Gillespie or Miles Davis.

Elliott Smith was in his early 30s when he died, and I believe Jeff Buckley was only 30.

Glad I'm not a musician.

-Al
