Thanks Joe Adams for the lyrics & sound bytes. This song is not only
timeless, it crosses over to any taste naturally. The sound bytes from Joe
are from Eric Clapton - no idea which album.
Greg, I hope you add this to the archive, it's such a great song.
Please feel free to contact me re corrections.
