This [debuted along with 'Disco'] in early 1989 and was first called "Eat the Beet", a title Mike came up with after completing a Tom Robbins novel in which beets were the key ingredient in a perfume needed to save the world. "A of D" was the first of two instrumentals recorded during the March 1989 Keene sessions that is played in the key of D - thus the title "A of D". Larry's code for this one is "Morning Daydream".
