It’s bad enough that ever since I turned 21, each birthday seems to loom around the corner. Now, I have to be reminded when someone else’s birthday comes that another year has passed me by. But when it’s a local living legend like Marshall Allen, I gladly cheers to another day of life, and thank that at 86 years young he is ready to take us on another cosmic adventure with Sun Ra Arkestra.
