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
