Been perusing shows from recent years, and I was wondering if I could call on the Parrothead faithful for some help.
Jimmy performed a song called "Lighthouse," which I thought was fantastic. It was during the Salty Piece of Land Tour in 2005.
Anyone know who wrote and performed that song originally?

I downloaded it a couple years back when Jimmy covered it thinking it would be great.

Re: Lighthouse
'Lighthouse' was played near the end of a show I saw in Cincy/2005. I had never heard the song before and it absolutely blew me away. The show's highlight right behind 'Banana Republics'..

It has the same "calmness" as the waves that might gently lap at the base of the very lighthouse itself. (in my own humble opinion).
