"[[The Real Frank Zappa Book]]" (1989): "''The first time we played with Rahsaan [[Roland Kirk]] was at the 1968 [[Boston Globe Jazz Festival]]. After his performance, when introduced to him backstage, I said I really liked what he was doing, and said that if he felt like joining us onstage during our set, he was more than welcome. In spite of his blindness, I believed we could accommodate whatever he wanted to do. We began our set, wending our atonal way toward a medley of 1950s-style honking saxophone numbers. During this fairly complicated, choreographed routine, [[Roland Kirk|Rahsaan]], assisted by his helper (can't remember his name), decided to join in. In 1969, [[George Wein]], impresario of the [[Newport Jazz Festival]], decided it would be a tremendous idea to put the Mothers of Invention on a jazz tour of the East Coast. We wound up working in a package with [[Roland Kirk|Kirk]], [[Duke Ellington]] and [[Gary Burton]] in [[Miami]] at the [[Jai Alai Fronton]], and at another gig in [[South Carolina]].''"
