The name of the song is ,"Big Sam Thompson". Thile wote it about his relative who was a professional baseball player. It is on his cd, "All you wnader are not lost." Fantastic cd!
Actually, it's "Not All Who Wander Are Lost". It comes from a J.R.R. Tolkien quote that says "All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be the blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king."
the best part of that song starts at 2:42.. I LOVE THIS SONG, by far my favorite song of all time. Pure genius!!! Chris Thile = mad skillz
