Hi Karen :)

2 for you - there's another couple I'm sure you know.  I just knew you'd get Gerry Rafferty.  I worked with a Glaswegian who looked  like a small version of Billy Connolly.  He had grown up with Gerry Rafferty and played in a band with him.  This took me quite a long time to find out because for the first few months of working with George I couldn't understand a bloody word he said :D

Hi Paul - thanks for your kind words :)

3 outta 3 for you!  I love "On The Street Where You Live" although I like Nat King Cole singing it.  I don't think Orchard Road ever charted here but I've got it on a compilation CD and I love it.

Hi Gaylon :)

All three are correct.

I've just googled the lyrics of "Tobacco Road" and found that some artists sing "I was born in a dump" but the most common lyric is "I was born in a bunk".

Just for curiosity I went to the John Loudermilk website about the Tobacco Road song and it says
"dump" was the original.  Oh, well
