not buggin
just go there
sit down
elvin late
and rashied hey you
wanna play he says
and then i sit in and play
on regular basis
and our relationship began
tension with everyone
things started to change
john hearing a different thing
getting into leaving the beat go
open up
free
just playing the best we could
no ill feelings
not thinkin about
that
just to accomodate trane
and all worked itself out
by the end
meditaions
things evened out
got loose
wasn't alot of tension
musically it was a hell of
an experience
i learned alot from that
so i'll leave it
there.
