After his album “Squint<\/a>” in 1993, which was the crowning achievement of his career, he vanished from the scene. I occasionally checked online to see what he was doing, and in 1994 I was able to meet him at a concert in Texas (I got to help him set up and take down the set). I eventually gave up hope that he would ever put out another album. But even though I gave up hope, I didn’t feel a lot better.<\/p>\n Then about four years ago, I was listening to Donald Miller<\/a> speak at a conference, and he mentioned that some movie producer had approached him about making his book, Blue Like Jazz<\/a><\/em>, into a movie.
