Jode Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 On this day in 1955, Charlie Parker died at age 34. Due to years of booze and heroin, the coroner mistakenly estimated his age to be between fifty and sixty. "I had to have something, and it wasn't there. I couldn't go down the street and buy it, so I built it." Les Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abnorm Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Incredible the talented people who died so young. Charlie Parker, Franz Schubert, Jimi, Chopin, Mozart, Keats, etal. What might we have heard from them had they lived? It also makes me feel bad that at age 50 I still haven't done squat compared to these people! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
