00:00:01
[Music] first tell me about this band what was it like when you guys were cooking on a
00:00:08
Friday Saturday night Peter it was a great night we had Blues we had R&B and we would do rock we always rock the
00:00:15
house you've got four of the members here but somebody's missing who's not at the table Jim hudon's not here uh Jim
00:00:21
played guitar he did a little bit of singing what was he like in the beginnings of the band Jim was a good
00:00:27
guy to work with towards the end of the band different story he just went on a downward spiral drinking was a big part
00:00:34
of it his alcoholism was was Legend amongst us he always drank Crown Royal and by the end of the night he would
00:00:41
finish a whole bottle he would get mean and sarcastic we got into some pretty heated uh conversations over things and
00:00:49
it just kept getting worse and worse and worse drug use did you guys ever see him
00:00:54
do cocaine did what Lauren you're shaking your head what did you see well um after being ex had disbanded I
00:01:01
started another band and we did a private party at a person's house and this person laid out a bunch of cocaine
00:01:07
on the countertop there and um I I said no thanks that's not for me and Jim said
00:01:13
I'll I'll do his and so he he laid out a big line of cocaine I'd never seen anyone do that much at in one at one
00:01:22
time I thought he was going to have a heart attack this guy's a brilliant guy so that's why you wonder yourself how
00:01:30
did he he went from here to here you know how did you find out that he was accused of of murder and what was that
00:01:39
moment like for you jaw jaw-dropping I mean I just remember shock and that's not the Jim hon I know I I I never put
00:01:48
it past anyone to do anything because of the way the world is now but Jim was one
00:01:54
of the least likely people that I could expect to do something that heinous uh I
00:02:00
I really think that it comes down to Jim not being himself Jim had slipped from himself and I think it was alcohol that
00:02:09
had a big part in that uh I also think there's a streak of evil in him you know uh you got to have a streak of evil to
00:02:17
do something like this [Music]
