Bears coming around smoking cigars. The bears are singing, We have the music. We have what you’re looking for. I say, Really? And I was making fish dinners. Shark..Lobster. 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: It’s cool. I think the bit in the middle, where it stops again…I think you can hear…We 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 that’s it right there. It came out different. It came out good though.Sam: You happy?Pharoah: Yeah, I’m cool with it.Sam: Okay. Yeah, I think you’re playing is beautiful.
