🎂Rakim, one half of Eric B & Rakim, turns 57 today.

Here’s Eric B. & Rakim out in NYC back in 1987. Two of the best to ever do it if you ask me.

🕊️Yesterday marked 5 years since we lost Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant.

No music Monday comes a little early this week as I share a pic of Kobe in 1995 that was featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer. 📸 by Michael Bryant

🎂Hi, How Are You

Daniel Johnston, born on this day in 1961, would have been 64 today. 📸 by ?

Here he is out near Strawberry Fields in Central Park, sometime before 1985 considering I don’t see the Imagine mosaic on the ground in the background.
