Does Your House Have Lions

..title of a 2 CD rahsaan Roland Kirk anthology of Atlantic recordings from 1962 to 1976. Thanks again Colleen. It comes with an awesome little booklet. Feel free to read into the title whatever you may but the booklet's introduction contains the following hint from Joel Dorn (May 1993): One day in the late '60s, I was on the phone with Rahsaan and mentioned to him that just that day I bought a house. He responded by asking, "Does your house have lions?" I said, "What?" He said, "Lions, you know like in front of a museum or the post office. You know, concrete lions. My house has lions. Get a house with lions."
