Mark Stryker Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) With so much sadness to deal with recently, I thought the board could use a smile. This Sheila Jordan Facebook post today worked for me. ---- "Just got off the phone with my buddy from the 50's Sonny Rollins. Our calls last over an hour because we talk about the old days and the new days. ... He's doing fine. He has such a positive attitude about everything. We always sing songs together. Love singing with him and he knows all the lyrics to the tunes. Like Bird did. I like to test him. I will sing a very obscure tune and he always joins in knowing the melody and the lyrics too. What a great human being Sonny is. Love to all...Sheila" Edited July 5, 2017 by Mark Stryker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Lovely. Thanks Mark. Looking forward to seeing her again at the Chicago fest on September 3. It has been a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlhoots Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I hope she's doing well too. Last time we were supposed to see her here in NM she was too ill to perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I saw her a few years ago in Detroit when she performed a duo set with Cameron Brown and she knocked my socks off. I like living in a world where Sonny and Sheila sing to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has a concert scheduled here in September ... the night before the Rolling Stones (not the same venue though). Missed her last fall, didn't hear any reports, it was an all-women-combo she appeared with at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
