Hi Jerry,
Just fell upon this hidden gem – you play it so well!
Very odd, I thought I knew Gerry R albums, but this one slipped by.
Adding this beautiful arrangement to my list of next purchases.
Sincerest thanks!

Thanks for this lesson Jerry! Been learning this recently and a fun one to play! I seem to wonder as to why this song wasn’t a big hit for Rafferty’s career considering it’s got a lovely chord progression and great writing etc!

I agree. I think it’s a lovely song.
