Hi Sonny,

I remember with a great pleasure the concert at the Montreal Jazz Festival in June 2010. Especially the unbelievable moment when you signed my copy of your last CD. You said «keep practicing», something I intend to apply to my life because I am too a saxophone player. I’ll remember this moment for the rest of my life. Your music is very inspiring.

Happy Birthday,
Dear Sonny,
Continue to stay young,

Dear: Mr Rollins

Happy Birthday, I am a student at the State University at New Paltz a small state school close to Woodstock, I am a vocal jazz major. I thought it would be cool if you could come to our college and possibly have a workshop to teach us some things about jazz, and maybe even perform. I am a big fan and I love to sing Saint Thomas.

Happy birthday, Sonny Rollins!

I am so happy to hear your birthday. Now I am in Tokyo, but Korean. I and my father likes you very very much. Your music is our back ground music always and makes us swing :)

Some years ago when you came to Seoul for your concert, I have been there and was so moved. I really really hope you to come Asia again, please! Korea, Japan or anywhere is OK! I hope to meet you again in live concert. Until that time, please take care and keep your music. I am waiting for you.

Have a happy happy birthday!

Hi, Sonny!
I loved your music since I was a poor boy and I was forced in listening it outside the music shop near my home. Your sax is my soundtrack during my sunny days...and during my ugly days too.
You are a living monument to jazz music and you are an example for all those thinking that life has passed them by.
Happy Birthday, Old Sage Colossus!

You are still giving us all such great pleasure in your music which is joyful and full of humour. It has given me so many happy moments when listening to your recordings over the last 40 years.
May you continue for many more years.
Happy 80th Sonny,

Dear Sonny:
Although we have never had the chance to see you in Mexico City, I would like you to know that you have big fans in this city. When I hear your recordings, I find there is something sublime in the way you play music; it is something that goes beyond the notes, that has to do with the soul of a humble man.

Keep blowing our hearts and souls a have a very happy happy birthday!

On September 7th, we'll be celebrating your 80th birthday along with my grandfather's 60th birthday. It seems that you and he share a birthday exactly 60 years apart!

We all hope you have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY and we wish you many, many more!

Sonny,
One of the 1st times I saw you was on a jazz cruise circling the Hudson. Your leg was in a cast, but your energy and incredible talent shone through. It was a remarkable performance, perhaps matched by your concert outdoors at Lincoln Center several summers ago that included a 20 minute solo, reminiscent of your "Solo" album. Happy Birthday to the greatest living saxophonist, and I hope you get to keep making us happy with your amazing music for another 80 years!

Hey Sonny,

I've been listening to your records alot and have drawn so much inspiration and encouragement from you and your music. You're work has been one of the main reasons I even started playing horn. I just want to say thanks for doing it all. You really should know that you've put a ball in motion for myself and others and it's really spinning now. This kind of music serves as an undeniable affirmation that life is good! Anyways, I am coming down to the Apple to see you play at the Beacon and am really looking forward to it. I hope it goes well Sonny.

P.S: Is it all still groovy to you?

Mr. Rollins,
I was a young red-headed girl from the midwest - a tenor player - who heard you live at the Regatta Bar in Cambridge, MA in the late eighties. You were amazing. My boyfriend and I left using the stairs, and (much to our surprise) ran into you and your wife. It was just the four of us, there, for a moment. I will never forget your words of encouragement to two young tenor players, that night. I am now a jazz educator; and you, are one of my greatest heroes. Thanks. And, happy birthday, Mr. Rollins.
