David Brylawski: And you know, you're allowed to have opinions.

Trevanian: I’m not sure.

Brylawski: I know you were.

Trevanian: It wasn't jazz or swing, it was the blues.

Brylawski: My God. [Abruptly cuts tape off]

Trevanian: What should America do now?

Brylawski: I don’t know. More arpeggios, and something that sort of grooves a little bit but is also a little trippy.

Trevanian: Big projects and small; new methods, new practices, new gadgets.

Brylawski: Some people say there's like a sadness to it because of that.

Trevanian: What is sadder than the teacher whose advice is not heeded?

•••

Brylawski: A place like Bermuda.

Trevanian: That's why a week is usually sufficient.

Brylawski: It’s very possible. But that's the fine line I'm talking about.

Trevanian: Alas, yes, it’s coming to Europe as well and it’s a great pity.

Brylawski: And not only that; there's morning ragas and evening ragas and afternoon ragas.
