didn't find a Kirk thread in the Artists forum so I started a new one... (can't wait for the posts: look here, ... and here and here) (well, I really tried, it's not that easy) (and I do appreciate those links as they lead to a lot of valuable information)(this is the first thread I started I think)

I stumbled across the following passage in the liner notes to Kirk's "Kirk's Work" with Jack McDuff:

"Wherever we go," his wife says, "We spend all our time in music store looking for old sheet music."

First I thought "well, that's just like you with your CD stores" but - Kirk was blind? The quote half suggests that his wife assisted him, still collecting old sheet music is an unlikely hobby for someone who can't see...

Does anyone know something more specific about his wife and her being an important collaborator / about Kirk and sheet music (did he really collect it or was it just something they told the writer of the liner notes (Joe Goldberg))?

Curious..

Two for one! :excited:
