Song credited to Gregg and David Brown. Here is what David wrote in the YouTube comments 5 years ago:

"I wrote this song in 1968 and played it for Gregg. He contributed the first two lines of the second verse. Scott Boyer suggested it during the sessions. I never considered it a finished song. I always felt it it made it onto the album because they liked the jam in the middle section."

So sad this record has been out of print so long.
In this digtal market we should be able to acess the
entire Capricorn catalog.

I think I posted this in another thread but years ago I was in NY for an ABB Beacon run and me and a friend were on the south side and went into a used record store and I found it flipping through some albums. Don't recall how I knew who he was but I did. Every now and then I give it a spin. Very good album. Sure can't beat the players!
