Q: The first time I saw you live, you played a song you announced as being inspired at a Grateful Dead show you were at and it was my favorite song of the night. Could you give the story behind the song here?
A: I was on a heavy dose of LSD in the early 90s and I was getting down to some dead and I thought I had beans burning back at camp. I freaked a little and headed back to the camp… The song pretty much describes the fact I had never started a fire or did I pack beans. The rest of the song just basically describes the events up to the realization of no beans and how happy I was that I did not burn any beans and then just simply describes the rest of the trip through the night. I wrote this song 20 years after the trip….
