about

I was in the middle of a very busy month, riding from DC up to Brooklyn every week for gigs. I just got rid of my day job, and was over-compensating by taking nearly every gig that came my way. On a Sunday night, I went to Wonderland Ballroom, with the express purpose of just letting off a little steam, and seeing some friends. Father Denny Buck was there, sitting at the bar, drinking whiskey and beer. He saw how tired I looked, and asked how I was. I sarcastically told him I was quitting guitar and going back to school to become a lawyer. Evidently, He missed the sarcasm, and gave me a look as though he was about to eviscerate me. I explained I was only kidding, and he backed off. I found it very encouraging, though-- I have friends who are ready to do me physical harm if I stop playing music.
It's close enough to something he would play, but I wrote the tune by myself shortly after that night.
