More quotes by Rahsaan Roland Kirk
I didn't ask my mother to buy me a trumpet or a violin, I started right on the water hose.
Rahsaan Roland Kirk
You don't see the European classical musicians allowing the music of Bach, Brahms, or Beethoven to become extinct. That music has gone on for centuries and centuries. We have the same obligation. Why do we have to become so 'hip' that we can say, 'Bebop is square,' or New Orleans is square'? This, to me, is a shame.
Rahsaan Roland Kirk
I wish we could just stay on the bandstand, it's so peaceful up here.
Rahsaan Roland Kirk
We are all driven by an invisible whip. Some run, some have fun, some are hip, some tip, some dip, but we all must answer to the invisible whip.
Rahsaan Roland Kirk
