Full Version: Jig Newton
Is this a play on words? Does it have anything to do with Fig Newtons? Powdered sugar donuts? Sugar highs? Isaac Newton??
a long long time ago...
we were hauling out to Iowa to open for Mr. Bob Dylan and got caught in a random
ice storm. It was a bad wreck but could have been worse. We were happy to be alive and found ourselves
temporarily stranded in Newton, Iowa. We celebrated by writing that little jig - as I said, happy to be alive.
And we made the gig.
