But they are man made, they use them a lot in hydroponics so they will not precipitate out of the solution when coming in contact with other elements

I was thinking the same thing .. A lot of well known people seem to want to bite the bullet before this year ended - very noticeable .

It's ok to die on your own terms.
Not someone else's.

A couple of years ago , I lost a high school friend. He was a very good guitar player. Played every kind  of music there was!

It was the other way around for me. I learned to read music and took the bass player route before guitar because there were a severe shortage of bass players and organ players back in the day .

He had a recurrence of pancreatic cancer that had been in remission.

Some of us went to see him in bed in his final days.  

I would have never have guessed he was dying and his time was many months. He was alert , laughing , and very cognitive.
He didn't live a week, after.

Our classmate told me that he was very sick with the group he brought  before and after me.

Home morphine pump, but he was not impaired in any way when I went to visit him!

As the group was leaving, I saw his acoustic  guitar in the stand in the living room. I think his son in law played too. It was well tuned.

I picked it up and started playing a few bars of Going To California and singing. One of my friends said , I knew you could play but I didnt know you could sing so well. I told him , I can't but G is my realm. Lol.
As I was leaving, his wife asked me if  I could play the whole thing and knew the lyrics. I told her I could. She said John would love to hear it. He heard you, Hawk!

I asked the party to wait for me outside in the SUV.  
I explained to my dying friend about the real tuning was double D and I'd have to play it in standard tuning and very simplisticly without any mandolin .

It was the best performance of my life.

One that was truly satisfying. One I'll never forget.
