I met Jackson at the (now defunct) Open Folk songwriter series in Asheville, NC. He played this song and it captivated me. I remember the line "if wishes were fishes my cats would go insane" releasing a tension and the whole room laughing. I was leaving for Nashville but we talked about doing a field recording the next time I would be passing through. Well, I ended up forgetting my records in AVL and having to head back a few days later. We recorded a one-take in Jacksons living room & got some tacos afterwards. I felt inspired to flesh out some instrumentation and post-production at my home studio in Annapolis.
