Pivotal Is the word that best describes Ronnie's position in the Arkestra. Apparently Sun Ra was VERY upset at his decision the leave the band and tried to get him back several times. He succeeded for a few recordings, Astro Black for one. As evidence of the hard feelings on Sonny's part, I have a copy of Nubians of Plutonia on El Saturn and on the back cover, every reference to Ronnie Boykins had be blocked out with a black magic marker or covered with opaque white tape!
