Thanks for your explanation

Thanks a lot Barb for your explanation and correcting me that uremia is not a bladder infection.
Yes, i thought there should be more information on the certificate about the skull fracture-as you mention, medical descriptions of the locations of the skull fractures.
I thought this was an important document to share with the group because Don Murray was such a close associate of Bix.
Also Voynow's death cert. was appropriate to present here for study by the group because he is another musician associated with Bix.That picture of his marker is from Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale where his family is in a marble crypt in the mausoleum.Min Leibrook is in the same cemetery.
I have read that Voynow was the leader of the Wolverines and friction developed between him and Bix during the Cinderella Ballroom engagement (Bix by Jean Pierre Lion page 86)
I was startled to learn it got to name calling stage according to Frank Trumbauer who observed an incident between Bix and Voynow.
Especially alarming was Trumbauer's eyewitness account in the book of Bix telling Voynow he was an old bastard.I don't see how the band could function as a unit with that kind of animosity between 2 of the key band members.
I guess this is actually tame though compared to what i have heard of how Fred Waring treated his band members.
