Dear Anne

This is indeed a fascinatng anecdote re- Bill Evans,a fantastic talent.
Truly tragic with his addiction but you mention it is related to GG. I don't
see the connection. Gould surely never 'shot-up.' Pills yes, but smack,
surely not.Was there some other connection between the Gouldster and Bill
Evans?

Thanks
