Song History
Dave recorded this Phish song for the 2001 Phish tribute album Sharin' in the Groove. The album comprises Phish songs played by bands and artists by whom Phish was influenced, and the CD booklet has the following to say about Dave's contribution: "Dave's unique guitar tunings and distinctive voice intrigued Phish early on. His band opened three Phish shows, he shared the stage with them on at least two other occasions, and Trey recently (5-20-01) [ed. note: the correct date is 5.19.01] performed with the Dave Matthews Band. Here Dave offers a rare acoustic release, playing a song from the Phish album he has said brought him near tears." It's unclear what "unique guitar tunings" they're talking about, but it's a nice note nonetheless.

Dave frequently played this song to open encores on the 2001 tour. At Dave and Friends shows, Dave and Trey sometimes played this song during their acoustic mini-set during the encore, alternating verses and singing harmony on the refrain. Since 2002, it has only been played without Trey guesting once.
