[Dixielandjazz] Bix documentary 2h.

[Gary Lawrence Murphy]

keep in mind that for much of Bix's drinking days it wasn't the best
quality of alcohol that he'd be getting, and I've heard several old
time players say that their schedules were such that often they drank
to stay awake.  But even though, there must have been other
circumstances that he went so soon.
