We read the same thing about this. Remember going to a funeral at a Mennonite
church I was going to at the time. They played almost all of the band's stuff
for the service. That left a mark with me!

One of the songs playing at my memorial service down the road is going to be
some Gerry Rafferty tunes. Baker Street is my all time favorite. Realized the
other day at work...it's almost biographical for both of us. Even more sad
than with Sid is to hear Rafferty's daughter/himself talk about what it was
like for him growing up...then drinking all that talent to your death. I
cried the day I heard he died & the cause of it.
