GERRY RAFFERTY, 63
Died Jan. 4, 2011. Scottish singer-songwriter and had one of the all-time great albums, City to City, with two of my favorite songs, "Baker Street" and "Right Down the Line." Who can forget that ax on "Baker Street?" Also had the hit song "Stuck in the Middle With You" with the group Stealers Wheel. This song always reminds me of driving the '63 "Ramblin' Wreck" to student teaching at Maine West High School in Des Plaines in 1973.
I can listen to this guy over and over and over.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
