Lou Donaldson recently talked to Tony Paige of the Daily News about his sports and jazz memories. Tony also hosts a show on WFAN in New York. 

Jazz great 'Sweet Papa’ Lou Donaldson’s has sports memories to treasure

Can't get this in Europe. Any chance of you posting the text, Brad?

I don't think its fair use to copy and paste the whole thing, are you that interested in memories of American football and baseball, MG?

To me the pull quotes are:

Donaldson has played bebop, hard bebop, soul, and, of course jazz.

Just to show the author doesn't know squat about jazz and ....

He doesn’t play much anymore. Remember, he’s 92 with a bad tooth.

“Old age got me,” he says. “Can’t play my horn with a bad tooth.”

When asked if he’s going to get it fixed, he pauses. No more Alligator Bogaloo? No more Blues Walk?

“I’m semi-retired,” he says, proudly.
