I do not think that James Carroll Booker "chose" a career as a pianist. I sincerely believe it "chose" him because of his innate genius. Perhaps at times he found solace in the music. Booker was a broken, tragic figure with the burden of being a genius. In the 1960's his lifestyle was considered by many to be more than flamboyant...was that lifestyle, alcohol and drugs an attempt to mask a deep hurt? Perhaps...but we are left with a pianist whose brilliance is only complemented by his raw emotion. James you left this earth only all too soon.
