This song was written in 1977 for Dixie, who is the daughter of a dear friend, Duncan Maguire - the bass player in a band that Tommy worked in. Tommy often used to babysit little Dixie. The song was recorded on The Day Fingerpickers Took Over The World with the great Chet Atkins.
You may notice that neither Tommy is wearing headphones. This is because our sound engineer, Brad, did a clever trick. He set up two speakers equidistant from the microphone and had two versions of the main recording playing out of phase. This makes the playback virtually soundless to the microphone but audible to Tommy.
