I live in Greenlawn. Today is the funeral for the NYPD Officer Tsakos who was slain last week. about 1/2 mile down the road.

Our street is packed with NYPD cars, trucks and busses and private cars. Even the Harley Motorcycle riders are parked on our street. Myself and my neighbors went outside this morning and greeted the officers as they drove and walked down the road, and we all offered up our driveways and front lawns for them park their vehicles. Very least we could do.

Bravo on the neighborhood's reaction.

Our district went remote today for all the kids. These pics are from the news12 chopper......a sea of blue for a good 1/2 mile on Pulaski road. all the parking lots for the elementary school, high school and shopping center parking lot full.

Very sad RIP.

I wonder who's minding the store

*Roger Hawkins, the drummer in the legendary Swampers and [Muscle Shoals]('https://www.rollingstone.com/t/muscle-shoals/') Rhythm Section who played on hits like Aretha Franklin’s “Respect,” Wilson Pickett’s “Mustang Sally,” and Percy Sledge’s “When a Man Loves a Woman,” has died at the age of 75.

[Producer] Jerry Wexler called Roger, ‘the greatest drummer of all time.’ Roger was a kind and generous man who loved family, friends and his fellow musicians… We will think of you as we listen to your many hits including, ‘Respect Yourself,’ ‘Mustang Sally,’ ‘When a Man Loves A Woman,’ ‘Chain of Fools,’ ‘I’ll Take You There’ and so many more.”

In the mid-Sixties, Atlantic Records’ Jerry Wexler brought artists like Wilson Pickett and Aretha Franklin to record at FAME, resulting in Hawkins and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section performing on some of the most iconic and biggest hits of the era: Wilson Pickett’s “Land of 1000 Dances,” “Mustang Sally,” and his cover of the Beatles’ “Hey Jude”; Franklin’s “Respect” and “I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You),” “Chain of Fools” and “Think.”

The Muscle Shoals musicians left FAME in 1969 to open their own studio at 3614 Jackson Highway — an address immortalized in the title of the Cher album recorded there — in Sheffield, Alabama. Now the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, the musicians continued to feature on hits like the Staple Singers’ “I’ll Take You There,” Paul Simon’s “Kodachrome” and Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll” and “Mainstreet.” Willie Nelson recorded his 1974 album Phases and Stages with the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, while artists like the Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Sam & Dave and Joe Cocker all made the sojourn to Alabama to play with the group.

“Wilson Pickett slapped out the beat he wanted for ‘Land of 1000 Dances’ on his leg and Hawkins took it from there; Paul Simon sought a particular lope for ‘Kodachrome’ and the drummer captured it by tapping on a tape box. The intricate cymbal pattern Hawkins builds up to on Aretha’s ‘Chain of Fools,’ the wry funk patterns he runs under the Staple Singers’ ‘I’ll Take You There,’ the subtle drama he lays out on Percy Sledge’s ‘When a Man Loves a Woman’ — it all makes it hard to argue with Wexler.”

Hawkins ranked Number 31 on [[I]Rolling Stone*’s list of the 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time]('https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-greatest-drummers-of-all-time-77933/roger-hawkins-39488/'). “Jerry Wexler, the producer who coined the very term ‘rhythm & blues,’ called Roger Hawkins ‘the greatest drummer in the world.’ [/I]
