Amen to this, @Ron! And happy birthday to you! 😊 #September7th
Every birthday is a blessing. I share the day with one of my biggest musical heroes and icons of the legacy of modern music, the great Sonny Rollins. And it’s also a chance to remember departed friends & fellow saxophonists/multi-reedmen that share same the day. 📸: John Abbott

Anyone who says the killing of Tyre Nichols can’t be about racism because the cops were also Black really doesn’t understand how white supremacy or anti-Blackness work
