- I would guess it was the combination. The drug use was a long-term thing,
- while the Christianity was fairly recent. On the other hand, Hallie says
- that all sax players are naturally unbalanced, but she plays the oboe so
- I don't think she's a good judge.

- Having known two people who found God while using hallucinogens (not including
- Brother Jim, who had God talk to him at a Van Halen concert and tell him to
- end his ways of sin), I am less apt to use such substances. Anything that
- might cause me to Jesus out is something I wish to avoid.

- (By the way, have you ever noticed how oboe players always pull their
- reeds out and start shaving them in the middle of a piece, just to get
- them in right before they come in? Why is it you never see them break
- one while fiddling with it?)
