[78-L] Deceased boppers

[Taylor Bowie]

I like the song which was a combination of bop and 1920s studio bands:

In The Land of Oh-Bla-D. Onivas.

I think the most shocking musician death I've read about in recent years was 
that of Lucky Thompson...who was living a very marginal life right here in 
Seattle,  almost as a street person and even homeless on occasion.  No 
musician or fan I knew was even aware that he was right here in town,  and 
in need of aid.

I guess he stopped playing around 1980 or so,  but lived for several more 
decades...a great player lost to depression and other mental illness.
