This slipped by without my noticing that John Coltrane passed away 40 years ago on July 17, 1967. Initially, Trane was the sole inspiration for me to play music. I was in a music store in Bloomington Indiana in the spring of 1972. My Favorite Things from the Live At Newport '63 album was playing. I didn't play any instrument or know anything about music but I was immediately captivated by the music (it's 17 minutes long). I bought that used record and purchased my first sax within the year.
