A sad loss. That sax on Baker Street gets me every time.

Yep, Baker Street flashes me back to that mid '70's club scene when it'd be played early in the evening.

I loved GR and his music.

I downloaded Baker Street in the last year because I thought it was cool and haunting.

I shared a great belly laugh over it with a friend that was a fan too.

We were positing that the one night stand alluded to in the song might not have been heterosexual.. NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT...

Great guy, great music period.
