I discovered your father through the music of Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and I discovered that music because of your father. In the liner notes to a collection of Kirk's on Atlantic, I believe your father alluded to a time when Rahsaan challenged him with the line,"Does your house have lions?," referring to concrete statues that stood in front of his house, and the line was kind of an impossible challenge to whatever someone might say to him. "Yeah, but does your house have lions?" After hearing your piece on NPR, I was moved by hearing what a great dad your father was, and through his love, is and will always be. Fatherhood truly is the greatest job there is, and he realized that fact. I have always remembered that line from Rahsaan, and you should know- your house does have lions, and you can thank your dad for that.
