 * I want to create a single sidebar.php file and then be able to have only certain
   things show based on the page that it is in.

 * Create a sidebar template file called something like `sidebar-single.php`, then
   call it in single.php using `<?php get_sidebar('single');?>`
 * Within the new sidebar template, you can define multiple [widget-ready areas](http://codex.wordpress.org/Widgetizing_Themes),
   or add default markup, that will be displayed based upon the is_single() [conditional](http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags).

 * The simplest solution is probably to use the [Widget Logic](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/widget-logic)
   Plugin.
