The great McCoy Tyner, born today in 1938.
“I play what I live,” he said. “My music is a reflection of the life I’ve lived so far, and of the people I’ve been blessed to be around. Everything that happens to you, everything you see, it all goes into the music somehow.”
“Impressions” #RIP 🙏🏼

The Warner Bros. Beacon Theatre was opened on December 24, 1929. The 2,657 cap theater was a movie palace only until 1966 when they started having live entertainment. It was turned into a rock venue in 1974. Here's the original vertical sign & marquee. #marqueespotting

The great Tom Petty, gone eight years ago today.
