TOO SOON ...by special commission

Hello, all! We have a special commission here, dealing with artists who died before achieving their full potential (not necessarily people who merely "died young," because there's a shitload of those). Always nothing much more than guesswork, of course, but I'll explain some of my criteria and try to justify these choices as we go. There will be many more examples on part 2, coming up very soon on the Patreon. We can all thank Irwin Chusid for this commission and this fascinating idea; some of his own suggestions are included here, as well as others that will turn up on the next part. Thanks also to Jim Allen for some excellent additions to the canon. If you have any performers you want to argue for including, let me know. In the meantime, I tried to keep it varied, and hope you find it entertaining and informative. Buckaroo Holiday goes weekly on the Patreon from here on out, by the way, as a thank you to those supporters and their deeply appreciated support and loyalty.
