Clarinetwife, I think you are right about the automobile making a huge difference when it comes to our more conservative additude towards drinking. Driving and automobiles are almost one of our american rights. Not that it is great to see someone walking home drunk, but it sure beats watching someone drive home drunk.
Hank, I have played with drunks and people that get stoned and unless they make a huge fuss, people like you don't even know they are high. I have also played with people that walk out because they don't like it that someone is high. Both the people that are high and the people that refuse to play music with them loose out on some wonderful gigs. As a professional musician, I can't walk out on a gig because I don't like the fact that someone might be high. What about being a professional and being able to concentrate on the music and your job instead of if someone is high? I think that makes a pro more than if they get high or not. The true pro knows how to deal with the many personalities and quirks of these great, talented, creative drunks and drug addicts. I can't think of getting high and music as all black or white. There is a grey area there somewhere. We are not talking brain surgury or police work or flying an airplane. It would be the same as if a fellow musician was on a mission to save your soul by preaching to you as often as he could about the virtues of being Christian (it has happened to me). You need to look beyond that and stay with the job at hand. The music. If being Christian and telling me that I am not on the right track makes him play better, by all means preach away. I know where I stand. What he says or if he is drunk mean the same to me. Not much. Comfortable? No. Can I put up with it? Yes.
