The song, "Sara", was later recorded as "Sarah in the Summer" by Ibbotson as a member of the Wild Jimbos and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The Wild Jimbos included it on their debut album Wild Jimbos in 1991.[1] The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band included it on their 1994 album Acoustic.[2] The version on Nitty Gritty Ibbotson has a different ending. He sings about "driving this road as a gay divorcee" and being an "hour closer to Sandy in the summer". It is a safe assumption that this is about his ex-wife Sandy and their daughter Sarah Jean, and that they were divorced before the LP was released in 1977.[3]
