enjoyable post- Laura you write the liner notes next time .really much enjoyed!
no doubt hudson Lake and Gary Indiana gigs featured a lot of partying.. Bix is portrayed by Berton as an idiot savant.(crystal meth Hawkins i always thought was made up by suds(he wished) just as he made up a fake son for some gal Bix went to high school with.. did he want a son too?
total 70s era book as evident by b.s fake pop psychology and lurid details- sudhalter also plays fast and loose with facts and engages in some pop psych and intimate details equally erroneous as it turns out.
there would have been plenty of people 64-70 years of age in 19 70-74 that saw, chatted with heard danced to wolverines -not even retired yet credible witnesses-neither book was aimed at jazz scholars specifically-Evans and later Lyon of course were but earlier books wracked up sales ..
much more historical accuraccy beginning in 80s
