I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fan of the first single released off Phish's upcoming album, Joy. At least I wasn't until I heard this gorgious acoustic version Trey's people posted over at Vimeo 20 days ago.

It recently occurred to me that 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of my love affair with four guys from Vermont otherwise known as Phish. I’d like to cover two topics in one piece here: how I was introduced to the band, and my experiences with them, and a primer on what to listen for when listening to Phish.
