Emily Remler. Never heard of her before but like the sound. Sadly, she died very young. From what I read, her heroin addiction contributed to her death at the age of 32 of heart failure.

I think heart failure was a euphemism for overdose.

Yes, probably. I’m just doing some reading about her and it sounds like she was becoming a pre-eminent musician when she died; she had wowed people like Herb Ellis.

Next time, instead of watching or listening to another depressing, aggravating newscast, I'm just gonna listen to this over and over . . .

I knew someone was going to call me on that! That most famous version is not on my shelves, as sacrilegious as that seems.
