Happy birthday Mr. Coltrane

  I was just sitting in my car listening to the end of the John Coltrane birthday broadcast on WKCR. Those of you who live outside of NYC, WKCR ran a 24 hour broadcast of his music.

  Just the last part, I remembered why I got into music. And I realized what inspires me the most about his music. He died at the age of 40. I've outlived the man by 7 years now. I can't imagine what else he could have possibly done with his music. He gave us everything he had. I can only hope I'm living a life close to that. Playing brutally honest music and leaving nothing at home in the safe.
