Too Pooped To Pop


Recommended Posts

any known comments on amphetamine use in jazz, either on or off the bandstand?

Don't know about the musicians, but according to a friend of mine, his parents were among circle of FANS in NYC in the 50s-early 60s who took speed together when they would go out to hear Charlie Parker, Mingus, Monk... Guess after working their day jobs, feeding their kids and instructing the babysitters, they needed a little pick-me-up to make it through a set or two at the Five Spot...

Dude, I hear ya.

I've got no time , but it seems like I've got all the time in the world - it just plain runs away from me.

I've got CDs from a year or two ago that I haven't got a chance to listen to, hell, even cracking the darn shrink wrap.

I'm the type who needs some time alone - like now - but to get it I gotta stay up too late. Then I'm beat all the next day.

My computer desk is totally trashed - I'm sure I just cleaned it yesterday.

I haven't even had a chance to post here much recently.

Well, maybe a beer and some Chet will fix it all for now.
