Story behind the song
The music to this song came to me in a dream, which woke me up long enough to write down the basic chords and phonetics. I got up the next morning and was excited to get it on tape, although this song has been recorded again with each new set of musicians, it is a common favorite for us to play and audiences to witness. From soft to loud, laced with intros, interludes and exits - and one of the most requested and downloaded of our hits.
