Long drum solos aren't for everyone - I get it. Just do what many at Grateful Dead concerts did and look at it as an opportunity to go get another beer. On the other hand, if you are the sort of person who cheers at the fireworks show, I hope…
This song is dedicated to my van...the Pumpkin.
She took me all the way from Winnipeg to St. John's, Newfoundland. On the way home she died on the 40 East between Quebec City and Montreal where i had to let her go.

WOW, where did this come from?? I love it. from the beginning where you turn the mic on before you begin play all the way to the lactic acid finish.

great playing, love the lyrics too.
