Witchi tia To (Jim Pepper)
a traditional song (peyote song he had learned from his grandfather) that Jim recorded with Hamid and that I played later on with Jim

One day Gerard Terrones proposed to me a new project with Hamid. He had been recording Hamid several times before but didn't know Hamid and I had been introduced to each other by Jim Pepper a long time ago although we never had the opportunity to work together ... We had very little time and I am glad we could do this as a tribute to Jim Pepper and to freedom in general.
