Kirkp
By JIM STIMSbN
R AHSAAN ROLAND KIRK is
probably getting tired of
notoriety.
Yet, if anyone deserves it,
he does.
He first gained fame as a
one-man band, who could play
three horns at once, and what's'
more, make music. I don't
know of any reedainstrument
that Kirk can't play, and he

Does anyone out there know
what a stritchhorn is?
performs this weekend
We might get )a chance to see
a stritchhorn in action this Sun-
day evening when Kirk and his
Vibration Society play the Mich-
igan Union Ballroom. The
main fare will be sax, most

KIRK SUFFERED a stroke
in the fall of '75, which par-
tially paralyzed. his right side.
Yet just six months later he
was back oi the road. He is not
one to let -+,ersity impede his
creativity - he has overcome
