I prowled Bushwick, my footsteps instinctively leading to all my usual haunts, only to find them locked up, devoid of merriment. It was the evening of March 17, 2020, the first day of COVID lockdown... https://t.co/cRUlTR8F7B

One on the left is the greatest live album of all time. The one on the right ain’t too shabby either.

(11) “Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor”: “He kept the door of the locker room closed, for he sensed that the quality of charity is exclusive and that his friends would have been disappointed to find that they were not the only ones to try to lessen his loneliness.” #Cheever

RIP #SonnyRollins. As an aside, there was an effort to rename the NYC Williamsburg bridge -- where Sonny used to practice -- as the Sonny Rollins Memorial Bridge. I hope that effort is still active. WillieB is still the chillest of all the Manhattan bridges.
