I donated blood today
Plaee, figure out a schedule for yourself to go donate
Mine is Months 3, 6, 9 & 12, I give whole blood
Months 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 & 11, I donate platelets only
I used to save lives on the fire department, controlling severe bleeding in horrific traumas
Now that I’m too old for that, I save lives with my blood to replace what’s lost on the streets far too often
Don’t let anything stand between you & a chance to save lives. It’s a way to make the world less awful

This deeply soulful and intuitive album, released in 2010. It was recorded in 2007 at Jarrett’s home studio when the two friends reconnected musically after a 30-year break; the idea was to just play together.
