From the Summer 1999 Info Club newsletter: "Lyrics by Joshua Fried, with a completely different feel than the Hello The Band version, this track includes the blazing trumpet of downtown klezmer king Frank London."
Originally recorded five years previously for the John Henry album but left off the final tracklist. The version released on Long Tall Weekend removes part of the opening drum roll and a full coda. The original 1994 version remained unreleased for 13 years until it was included on Podcast 27A.
