This is a very old song. I wrote it over a decade ago. I wrote it in a closet with myself and 5 other people smoking out of a hookah on 4/20 circa 2001. I named the song after the Whitman's Sampler box I kept my stash in at that time. In the early Route 9 days we refined it with the "breathe" outro circa 2008. With the Secrets and Lies theme of this year's Calendar Project I thought April 20th this year would be a good time to put out "Whitman's." Adding to the nostalgic feeling of this holiday anthem Erik and I recorded it on an old 4track. You can hear the dirt on this dirty little secret. Secret Sage recorded this song just a day earlier. I love both versions we got. I used the Route 9 version because we where more "inspired" when we recorded it. On the actual holiday non the less.
Here's who knows about the project as of today.
Kate, Jay, the kids, Erik, Tom and Dani.
Secrets getting out.
