Dedicated to the enduring spirit of Rahsaan Roland Kirk.
Does Your House Have Lions?
"One day in the late sixties, I was on the phone with Rahsaan and mentioned to him that just that day I bought a house. He responded by asking, "Does your house have lions?" I said, "What?" He said, "Lions, you know like in front of a museum or the post office. You know, concrete lions. My house has lions. Get a house with lions."

Rahsaan quote about blindness
"I'm a man, first. So-called blindness is secondary. I don't believe that when I pick up an instrument, I'm blind to anyone."
