Confabulation at the zoo


Rahsaan Roland Kirk chatting up his friends at the zoo.  From the 1967 Dick Fontaine film Sound??.

"Y'know, Music is a beautiful thing.
When I'm reincarnated, I'm gonna come back as a musical note!
That way can't nobody capture me.
They can use the hell out of me
but ain't nothin' too much they can do to me.
They can mess me up. They can play the wrong note.
They can play a C, but they can't really destroy a C.
All it is, is a tone.
So I'm gonna come back as a note!"
    — Rahsaan Roland Kirk
