Liner Notes
Brother Jack was looking up at the moon one night
"Hey, moon, wanna rap"
Brother Moon was silent
"C'mon moon, just me and you"
Brother Moon was silent
"I'll tell you what, moon... you rap to me
about what it's like to just sit up there
and watch everybody on Mother Earth watch you
and I'll put it to music"
Brother Moon was silent
"I'm not hypin' you, moon... I'll do it"
A cloud passed over Brother Moon's face
and remained
"Now don't take an attitude, moon. If you've
ever heard me and my men play some jazz, you'd
know that we could really do you justice"
The cloud moved away
"Ha, you're just like folks, moon...
can't resist a little flattery"
The dawn was emerging and Brother Moon
Was taking his leave
"You sleep on it, moon and I'll see you
tomorrow night. In the meantime I'll work
on a few ideas"
"Amen, Brother Jack"
