Howie Mitchell added the verse with the "groundhog" reference when he recorded the song for us. This was done in honor of Frank Proffitt, with whom we all exchanged a series of humorous letters suggesting such things as a chain of franchised "groundhog restaurants" (built underground, of course) to take advantage of all the groundhog meat he was wasting when all he wanted was the animal's hide for making fretless-banjo heads.

The song circulated quite widely after Howie introduced it at an early Fox Hollow Festival.
