I grew up in a town that was located at the mouth of a river and the river opened into the ocean, so there was water everywhere - coves, inlets, marshes, ponds, etc. I would guess that every year when I was growing up, some kid drowned. I personally knew three kids who drowned. One of them got sucked in by an undertow a little way up the river. One of them swam out too far at the beach and got tired and sank. One of them was smoking pot down by the shipyards and fell off a pier. One of them I didn’t know very well, he was very quiet. Another one I knew really well and it was a shame. Then the other kid, the one who drowned at the beach, I knew him casually and made fun of him because he played jazz on his electric guitar and not rock music, but sometimes now I think about him when I’m trying to learn jazz chords.
