Missing my old work Impala. The CD player refused to give up the "Shaft" soundtrack when I surrendered the car for auction, which seemed appropriate. #Investigatorlife

Been there. Swung that.

It was always an awkward moment when someone needed the red bat.

“Yeah, Billy, you can play but you gotta use the red bat.”

“But I wanna use the yellow bat like everybody else.”

“Motherfucker, you went 0-for-46 yesterday. The yellow bat is no longer an option for you.”

Leonard Cohen and Sonny Rollins playing “Who By Fire” on NBC’s one of a kind Nightmusic (1989). We have the late Hal Wilner and David Sanborn to thank for dreaming up and producing the greatest music show that’s ever been on tv.

[Felonious Monk @omackson]

Encore, Sonny Rollins. Like the song title says...https://t.co/wBc3GUEV2h @TheJazzHerald @csade1 @drowsygeek @2112Westy @SwanstonRobert @ianandrewrimmer @NorfolkFlyer100 @grbenny @stevewfolds @naomiwestvalley @ctair1968 #jazzeveryday #RIPSonnyRollins

Was it the hours of operation that was the problem?
Should he have opened later in the day?
Did he forget to card people?

This would have been great to do while Sonny was still here.@RollinsBridge has been dedicated to honoring Mr. Rollins for nearly a decade & deserves kudos and support for this worthy goal. Sonny Rollins elevated ALL of us in his relentless pursuit of excellence, not just himself
