sidewinder Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 (edited) Damn - very sorry to hear that. Definitely a good presence on many of Kirk's Atlantic sessions. RIP Edited October 23, 2007 by sidewinder Quote
brownie Posted October 23, 2007 Report Posted October 23, 2007 Sad Moments! The brief note says he was buried at the jewish community cemetery. His father was from Panama, his mother was from Spain. He met Roland Kirk when Kirk visited Sam Goody's NYK store where Texidor was an employee. Texidor helped Kirk with reading him liner notes to albums he was interested in! Texidor will be missed!

GA Russell Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 RIP. Sorry to hear this. I saw him with Kirk at The Cellar Door in 1969 or '70. I remember their doing Volunteer Slavery. Quote
