Jim Pons: I'd like to share something with you, a flute which is from
A tribe of American Indians called the Taos Indians, and they're
Located mostly in New Mexico. And they have a sacred ground which
Is a lake which is called Blue Lake. And it so happens now through
Machines, polluted brains, that they start to tear down this
Particular territory. This flute I've had for a year and I must
Return it back to the museum it came from. So I would
Like to share it with you. It's very good to be played
This flute, during the hour of four and six in the
Morning. We'll call this composition "Blue Lake."

Jim Pons: I'd like to also acknowledge the fact that we have Okai
Tamiz on drums and Johnny Nyane on bass. We'd like to play first a
Song from Johnny Nyane's land, which is Africa, South Africa. This
Is a song from, that was taught to both of us from, I think, one of
The important spirits of our time, which is a pianist from South
Africa which now is living in Swaziland. His name is Dollar Brand
ย
We'd like to first play a few compositions of Dollar's for you to
Become familiar with these melodies. And then we should like to play
A few compositions from Okai Tamiz's land, which is Turkiye. Okai
Tamiz comes from Ankara. So we shall
Play a combination of both of them
