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 mentioned in Pete Townshend's new memoir
"Roland Kirk taught me that wen musicians pay respects they don't always do it with claps and hugs or fan letters. Sometimes they merely listen. If they happen to be blind, they listen with acuity."
