The header and tagline are actually a re-purposing of something E. said just before we played a pre-wedding campfire on Hornby Island last weekend...The real quote was...."At the bottom of their hearts all anybody really wants to hear is Wagon Wheel"...
The crazy thing about our most popular/ consistent money maker on the Buskateering circuit is that it was really just a half tune/sketch done by Dylan as a demo around about the time he was making Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid...Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show, who were once buskers themselves, later filled it out with a story of hitchhiking down the Eastern seaboard thirty years after the fact...Of course, all kinds of folks have covered it since...
