![“[In 1968] Phil handed me a record, Drums of North and South India. ‘I think you should hear this,’ he said. After listening to Ustad Alla Rakha play, I asked myself, ‘Can a human mind be capable of this?’ I listened repeatedly. His playing was different than anything I’d ever heard. I sat in front of the speakers in full wonder, asking myself could this be just one man playing all this magnificent rhythm? And if so, what is he doing? And how?” -Mickey Hart
