Hey, I posted this in the Ed tour thread but maybe it got lost in the shuffle. Does anyone have info on the cover of Small Town that Ed uses as an intro song on this solo leg?

He spoke of this tonight in Toronto.

Its by an artist named Mburu. It (the song) was a gift given his brother while he was in Africa about 2 years ago. The man is about 65 years old and has 3 teeth (according to Eddie :P).

It's a recording done by an African musician. Eddie said during the Toronto show that his brother and the same guy who directed Life Wasted went to Africa to record this musician whose name escapes me, and when they returned to see him again several years later he gave Eddie's brother the recording of Small Town as a gift.

In addition to Small Town, he's also walked on to "Tuolumne" playing over the PA. Not sure if there's been other songs.
