Since we spoke on the phone and agreed we both knew the same Joan and you filled me in on what happened to her (she died 8 months after giving birth to a son), I've beenn continuing my research and was able to contact other people who were friends of Joan's. Would you be kind enough to let me know how I could contact Joan's son? Thanks so much. (You did mention the "great guy" she had met and had her son with, so if you could give me his name, that would be a help.) Thanks.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Saw you did include Phil Ochs in your list of gone too soon.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866824695697084047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-23295966063584823032008-04-30T23:51:00.000-04:002008-04-30T23:51:00.000-04:00ML, P.S.

I've been thinking about my friend Joan and am downhearted that she's gone. I would like to ask you again, if you have info that would help me track down her family, especially her son, I'd appreciate it much.

Can't believe I forgot Tim Buckley and Jeff buckley and Nick Drake. I thought of Anne Frank too, can't remember why I then forgot to list her. Hey man, you're as compulsive as I am! Great additions. We'll have a giant master list and should make a web page for them and add photos. Wouldn't that be a nice tribute.Lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-46641952363285268072008-03-24T22:55:00.000-04:002008-03-24T22:55:00.000-04:00Others: Brad Renfro (25), Samuel Greenberg (23), a...Others: Brad Renfro (25), Samuel Greenberg (23), and of David Schubert (20s?), Anne Frank (15), Georg Buchner (23), Robert Fergusson the Scottish poet loved by Burns (24), Aubrey Beardsley (25), Nick Drake (26), Gram Parsons (26), Tim Buckley (28) and his son Jeff Buckley (32) and I've got to add Steve Prefontaine (24).Tom Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211378281642641041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-37037648202221588622008-03-24T22:29:00.000-04:002008-03-24T22:29:00.000-04:00I forgot Freddie Webster (31) pretty much unknown ...I forgot Freddie Webster (31) pretty much unknown but a big influence on Miles Davis's sound, and it's interesting to me that Fats Navarro influenced and came right before Clifford Brown, and Booker Little came right after Clifford and was influenced strongly by him, and they all died at about the same age in their twenties.<BR/><BR/>Tom KingTom Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211378281642641041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-54871952392606598132008-03-24T22:04:00.000-04:002008-03-24T22:04:00.000-04:00Tom, I have Billie Holiday listed and I had Lee Mo...Tom, I have Billie Holiday listed and I had Lee Morgan down for dying in his twenties and maybe went to move him and accidentally erased it, but I couldn't think of a "T" who died in their 20s for anything, and I love Georg Trakl, so thanks for coming up with that one. I also kept trhying to remember Wilfred Owen and couldn't. But that's a great list you added.

He is a well known Italian journalist of Egyptian heritage. He took as his baptismal name Christian.
