Erik Balkey This is a song I wrote with Lisa Bastoni the night we crossed paths as touring songwriters. We had planned to do a show together at a North Carolina coffeeshop, but an ice storm kept us stuck, off the road, and writing a song. That's Beth Wood singing along, and Duke Levine playing guitar. Tom Prasada-Rao did the rest ...of the magic, playing piano and doing the production. The Diner is my hometown diner at the vanishing Marlton circle.

I thought I'd post the song here for the Boys of Summer, and also around the... date of the passing of American icons Jerry Garcia and Elvis Presley.
