Pain wrenched Cheri Armstrong from her slumber. "I just shot up out of bed"

SEATTLE - Pain wrenched Cheri Armstrong from her slumber. "I just shot up out of bed," said Armstrong, 69. "It wouldn't go away." She thought the squeeze radiating between her shoulders was a muscle cramp. She twisted, walked and paced for about five minutes before it subsided. Her husband, Richard Armstrong, urged her that April Saturday to go to the emergency room. "The last place I'm going is a COVID-19 hospital," Cheri Armstrong remembers telling him. The pain receded, only to spike sporadically over the next days - twinges of tightness. By Monday evening, though, it had worsened and migrated to her jaw. "We're going to the emergency room," Richard said. Doctors soon whisked her through tests and delivered the news Cheri suspected: She had suffered a heart attack. "Her artery was about 99% blocked," said Dr. Daniel Guerra, a cardiologist at MultiCare Pulse Heart Institute in Tacoma. "She was lucky she didn't have a big heart attack." Armstrong's story illustrates a growing concern. Beginning in March, public…

Jimmy Cobb, Who Drummed On Kind Of Blue, Dead At 91

The legendary jazz drummer Jimmy Cobb has died at 91. As NPR reports, the cause of death was lung cancer. Cobb was part of Miles Davis' First Great Sextet. He was the last surviving member of the band that played on Davis' landmark Kind Of Blue. He was born Wilbur James Cobb in 1929 and grew up in Washington, DC. At age 13, he bought his first drum set with money that he earned as a busboy. He was primarily self-taught, and he moved to New York City when he was 21 and started playing with vocalist Dinah Washington. From there, he'd link up with Cannonball and Nat Adderley, and it was through them that he met Davis. In addition to playing on Kind Of Blue, he would record a few other albums with Davis, including Sketches Of Spain and Someday My Prince Will Come, before leaving the band in the 1960s and leading a trio with fellow former Davis associates Wynton Kelly and Paul Chambers. He became a bandleader only later in his career, starting in the 1980s with an album called So Nobody

COMMENT: Africa should look at building lasting peace, wealth for its people

Today marks the 57th anniversary of Africa Day. Africa Day is celebrated across the continent, but more so in Ghana, The Gambia, Guinea, Namibia, Zambia, Mali, Mauritania, Lesotho and Zimbabwe, where it is observed as an official national holiday. This important day was born in 1963 when 32 independent African states signed a founding charter in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under the auspices of the newly formed Organisation of African Unity (OAU). The initial process, however, began in 1958 when 17 African nations established African Liberation Day, to commemorate their independence from European colonialism. In 2001, the OAU became the African Union (AU). Due to the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic, the AU has said this year’s celebrations be held virtually and online under the theme: “Silencing The Guns: Creating Conducive Conditions for Africa’s Development and Intensifying the Fight against the Covid-19 Pandemic.”
