In reflection, these leaves fallen across a puddle, have found a way back into their parents’ arms.

"Cherish The Day" is the best song on Sade's 'Love Deluxe' (1992). Agree or disagree?

When I was a kid living on 151st & Broadway many musicians lived in that hood including a saxophonist who once blew his tenor on numerous jazz, doo-wop, R & B and early rock ’n’ roll tracks. His name was Jesse Powell, and in the early 1970s he gave up that life and opened a candy store.

They don't get talked about much anymore but Roald Dahl hosted two different horror anthologies & they had wildly different tenures.
Way Out (1961) lasted only 14 episodes and 4 of them are lost media. It only survives through bootlegs.
Tales Of The Unexpected (1979-1988) somehow had 112 episodes.

Remembering this sweet boy today, who was shot and killed by cops within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in. It was a toy gun. He was 12. 11/22/2014. Let’s say his name. 😭

I've never gotten over this. Ever. We marked the first year after his murder with a "play-in" event in Chicago. I had the idea for this and I have never forgotten him. You can see some of the photos from the event here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?v...

Large Great Blue Heron at Crescent, San Francisco Bay, Emeryville, California. This heron was standing close to the shoreline last night. It was about an hour after sunset so the resolution is less than perfect.

I am a very fortunate woman. I sometimes meet famous, important people. It is part of my job.
But every once in awhile I get to meet a personal hero, like I did tonight. This is Janet Webster Jones. Icon. Legend. Prototype.

This is fantastic news. Watch this if you are able
🧵BREAKING NEWS: Beyond thrilled to report that the documentary I wrote & co-produced, "The Best of the Best: Jazz from Detroit," premieres December 9 on Prime Video. The most frequently asked question I get about the film is when and where can I see it? Now I have an answer.

I just tripped over this wonderful 1957 duet recording by guitarist Oscar Moore with Leroy Vinnegar on bass. I wondered why I had never before seen it, and it turns out that it was originally released on reel-to-reel (Omegatape) and never came out on LP.
