Online Auction: Janice Joplin’s 1920s-Era Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co. 9’ Table

I think it's because by 27 these artists have got the money and people around them to indulge in increasingly destructive habits. If they don't get a handle on themselves, it's when the habits get the best of them. If you make it past that, you have probably figured out how to manage your habits. Still weird how often it seems to strike at 27, not 25 or 28. Wikipedia says there is no statistical spike so maybe we don't remember the people who died at 26. If you make it to 30, I think you're out of the woods.

I got out of those woods by watching so many of my high school classmates end up in the graveyard. 98% from drugs and alcohol!

The lady could sing the Blues.

Big Mama Thornton (sp?) was the source of her style. When a wise friend heard her first album in 1967 he said, "She will kill herself singing like that."

She couldn't be much of a player with a bridge like that. Her pool room looks like an unfinished garage. Was the table in an unheated room all those years?

I must say that table looks sweet! She had good taste in pool tables..

Janice & Jorma The Typewriter Sessions.
Big Momma’s influence is on full display.

She like drinking Boones Farm or Annie Greensprings rot-gut wine in the 60’s-70’s. An acquired taste.

I remember seeing her on stage many times with that bottle of Southern Comfort that she was so fond of.

Janice just didn’t fit in with the crowd.

Or....maybe the crowd just didn't fit in with Janis.

Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill was the drink of choice of the drinking crowd back when I was in high school.

Twenty Seven, what is it about 27?

It makes Keith Richards a modern-day Methuselah.

I always liked the rumor that Keith and Mick would go to the Bahamas once a year and get their blood changed.

I remember the recording of Janis and Jorma doing a wonderful version of 'Hesitation Blues' back in the day

Bid just hit $10k, and it appears the reserve is met. Waiting to see what happens Wednesday.

Posted today a bid of $13,000 was accepted and the table has sold.

Seems like a pretty good deal. I’d spend the money to fully restore it, frame the Certificate of Authenticity and hang it in the room. Get a nice picture of Janis to go next to it.

I’m an idiot. Fancy technology like the refresh button got the better of me. You’re correct. Thank you for being kind about my stupidity lol.
