==Quotes==

"''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.''" - Frank Zappa in ''[[The Real Frank Zappa Book]], though he remembered the year incorrectly. <ref>http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/musicians/H-L.html</ref> <ref>http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/notes/1969.html</ref> <ref>http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/musicians/H-L.html</ref> <ref>http://www.afka.net/articles/1969-05_Down_Beat.htm</ref>
