[78-L] Charlie Shavers and Milt Kabak

[Geoffrey Wheeler]

Regarding musicians and drug use: As a high school student in 1953, I 
wrote a paper for some class on drugs. My teacher asked me how in the 
world I had picked that subject. At that time, little attention was 
given to the subject. I told her I was interested in jazz and too many 
musicians used drugs. I told her I could write the names of the 
musicians who didn’t use drugs on a 3x5 card. She was aghast!
