Pharoah Sanders: Huh?

Sam: Were you asleep? Im sorry

Pharoah: No no I was listening and dreaming and listening to music in my head

Sam: Oh wow sorry.

Pharoah: Many times, people think I might be asleep but in fact, I am just listening to music in my head. Im always listening to the sounds around me and playing, in my mind and sometimes I dream.

Sam: What were you dreaming about?

Pharoah: Im on a ship. In the ocean. Bears coming around smoking cigars. The bears are singing, We have the music. We have what youre looking for. I say, Really? And I was making fish dinners. . Got all kinds of fish. And you know, a good pie. Pumpkin pie. You like pumpkin pie?

Pharoah: How you like that take, Sam?

Sam: Its cool. I think the bit in the middle, where it stops againI think you can hearWe were both kind of confused. I like it as well because it sounds like two musicians that are trying to guide each other.

Pharoah: I think thats it right there. It came out different. It came out good though.

Sam: You happy?

Pharoah: Yeah, Im cool with it.

Sam: Okay. Yeah, I think youre playing is beautiful.
