This is another one from ye olde archives. The song evolved spontaneously, with my dear friend BKP, in 2003 or 2004. I had taken a Teach Yourself Navajo book from the library, and was sitting on the floor practicing basic vocabulary, and BKP started playing the guitar behind me. The chords just came out of him, and I started singing the words in time. We both knew we had hit on something, so I set up the mics and in fifteen minutes we had the guitar recorded.

I laid down the bass, then BKP did the drums (he was a great joy to play with, a tremendous drummer) on our little ghetto kit. We sang - and improvised - the vocals together, and then to polish it off I played a little Navajo flute for atmospheric authenticity. The whole session lasted the afternoon and was a huge amount of fun. The whole time that BKP lived with us was a very fertile period, where we spent the bulk of our days and nights playing, writing, recording, and experimenting. And this song is one of the best from those bygone days…
