Cover art for Aunt Avis lyrics by Widespread Panic

This song was written by Vic Chestnutt, who died in December of 2009 from suicide. It wasn't written by Panic. Vic was a scary dude, and had also been through alot. He was almost killed in the car wreck which left him paralyzed from the waist down. He was a pretty dark dude. He wrote several other songs that Panic covers, such as "Let's Get Down To Business" among others.
