  5. Thank you so much for this!
    He’s a beautiful person..a COMPLETE human being because he has addressed his spiritual side as well as his physical.
    Some musicians fake it but Sonny is for real.
    Totally connected.

    Never will I forget Sonny, I met him back in 1988, and I got his autograph, and sadly, some how I lost it, his message to me was, signed, “keep blowing Sonny Rollins”, and I never learned how to play jazz, I am forever haunted by the fact that I never completed my goal, this was my hero, and I let him down. Maybe one day I will pick up a Saxophone again. I still have the ticket stub from 1988, this is my Sonny Rollins story.
