Thanks Art. I think the anguish and difficulties we have in dealing with friends who've gone past the point of no return is perhaps the saddest thing we have to deal with. My mentor (who introduced me to so many great musicians 33 years ago) started on the long road to booze/drug insanity only 6 or 7 years after I met him. Watching him slowly kill himself, and become a (very bad) hustler was painful.

Do you have any thoughts on Mr. Camp?
