4. Someday I'll Find You
5. As Long As There is Music

Here is the story behind the tune Kim if you were not at the first performance in Seoul, South Korea.

Bob Cranshaw was in the army and served in the Korean War. While he was in Korea there was a South Korean soldier named Kim that assisted Bob carrying equipment. Overtime Bob and Kim became good friends. One day Kim and Bob were packing up equipment to leave and a mortar hit and killed Kim.

Bob named his first son Kim after that soldier and Sonny Rollins wrote the song Kim after hearing the story.
