When I’m Gone, Cletus and the Burners, 2004

Fifteen years ago, I came across a bluegrass band at the Tuesday Farmer’s Market. I was so struck by them, I followed them around that July 4th weekend as the performed around town in a wickedly cold San Francisco.

The group lasted for a few more years but eventually disbanded. Their CD’s are still a fun listen, and this song is particularly good.

Maybe it’s a bit too maudlin for mass consumption, but worth sharing.
