THE DREAM BOOK
For Ornette Coleman and Dominic Duval

At a gathering of musicians at Ornette’s place,
for a session of life lessons
as would always be the case,
Roy Campbell Jr. asked the great man,
“In what key would you like to play?"
To which Mr. Coleman replied,
“The only keys I have are the keys in my pocket.”

He then proceeded to blow the blues away,
turning night into day,
taking Bird for a ride
out past Pluto, out past the sun,
and on and on and on,
to the beginning and end of forever and
“The only keys he had were the keys in his pocket.”
 
Hold onto your harmolodic dreams Old Eyes and
in your Caravan of Dreams, take us all for that ride in Prime Time.
Keep on dancing in our heads, dancing in our hearts,
dancing to the D-man’s thunderous bass lines, with his beloved Katherine held close in his arms, until loneliness is a thing of the past and we remember and remember and remember that
“The only keys we have are the keys in our pockets."
-Joe McPhee
Trio X concert at Congress Hall, Vilnius, Lithuania (2006)
