Gerry Rafferty RIP

[Pavka007]

I am not sure what is going on lately but seems that a lot of good people have left us.
Gerry Rafferty is the latest one to pass away.
RIP

Oh man!
To me he was more than a "one hit wonder"

Very nice sax solo on Baker Street.

As for Stealer's Wheel "Stuck in the Middle With You" . . . one of those songs that gets stuck in your head that you wish wasn't . . .

[Jim B.]

Windin' your way down on Baker Street
Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well another crazy day
You'll drink the night away
And forget about everything
This city desert makes you feel so cold.
It's got so many people but it's got no soul
And it's taking you so long
To find out you were wrong
When you thought it had everything

You used to think that it was so easy
You used to say that it was so easy
But you're tryin'
You're tryin' now
Another year and then you'll be happy
Just one more year and then you'll be happy
But you're cryin'
You're cryin' now

Way down the street there's a lad in his place
He opens the door he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything

He's got this dream about buyin' some land
He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands
And then he'll settle down there's a quiet little town
And forget about everything

But you know he'll always keep movin'
You know he's never gonna stop movin
Cus he's rollin'
He's the rollin' stone

And when you wake up it's a new mornin'
The sun is shinin' it's a new morning
You're goin'
You're goin' home.

That man could write some music .His sound was original in its dayand still today in my book.

I thought the name sounded familiar, but couldn't have told you who it was or the name of the song until I heard it. When people we grew up with, celebrities, die, it's sad. One of my seminary professors used to call times like that "finitude checks." It's sad because it reminds us of our own mortality.

I loved that song even if I couldn't have told you the name of it.

For some reason I associate that name with ELO.

I have the City to City album in my collection. I always liked Right Down the Line. Looks like the demons took another one.

One of my favorites. When I think of Baker street I think of being alone at night on road trips. It really reminds you how alone you are at the time.
