unfortunately seems he did drink far too much, certainly a factor in his early demise.

I always thought the Baker Street he was referring to was the one in London, reading the stroy of his death it appears it was a street in Dundee.

Another sad loss albeit self-inflicted (but isn't that the "Rock 'N' Roll" way"?).

It was Baker Street that helped grow my love of the saxophone sound. And also from researching similar styles helped me discover the music of Andrew Gold. I do tracks from both these artists as part of my karaoke show and they always go down well (and seem to suit my voice).

A sad loss - Stuck In The Middle With You is one of my favourite 'stylish' tracks

stuck in the middle by Stealers Wheel is a brilliant song. I play that song quite a lot at discos. Definetely a floorfiller tune.
