Musicians Lost to a Life on the Road (ONLINE)
GONE TOO SOON! MUSICIANS LOST TO A LIFE ON THE ROAD!
Whether it was Patsy Klein, Big Bopper, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, or Jim Croce (all lost in plane crashes) or the 27 club which consisted of Janis Joblin, Jimmi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Al Wilson, Brian Jones, etc...Great musicians have lost their lives while on the road performing. While many lament the loss, others say that the musical landscape demands its sacrifices. The lifestyle these folks lived has a long and fascinating history of premature death. Join us for an exposé on the history of music and death on the road and help us celebrate the lives of these very talented individuals. Join Keith Crocker for a trip that will lead you though the 50s, right up to the passing of Amy Winehouse. Clips of these performers punctuate the program.
