one of the first and many who joined the tragic "27 club".....If you want to understand Alan a bit better I highly recommend the biography by Rebecca Davis "Blind Owl Blues". Now of Days he would perhaps be diagnosed as a high functioning Autistic. Like many geniuses , he had a higher understanding of certain things, but lacked in some personal/ societal expectations......he had his own way about him but due to his inability to connect and share his life with a partner, plus the hurt he felt by the mindless and stupid things "man" does to nature.....he did suffer from some depression. A highly gifted and sensitive man who left us too soon. RIP Alan Wilson
Sad month that September was. They're memorializing a great blues man in Alan and then 5 days after this we lose Jimi. I still feel the "what more could have been achieved" feeling but can also feel joy in what they left behind.
for researchers: the speakers are Reverend Bill Canaday (d. 2008) (Park Avenue Congregational Church), friends David Maxwell, David Potter, and Sue Allen, and brother-in-law William Oswald (still alive as of 2019). I believe in that order but I can't confirm that.
The cover story about "depression" was apparently enough to neutralize suspicions but read Dave McGowan's "Weird Scenes in Laurel Canyon" and reflect on how Alan's death fits into a larger pattern...
nobody has the same voice as Blind Owl
he was the greatest

Alan Wilson was a genius whose talents are still not fully appreciated.
