I assume they've already checked Baker Street. Apparently musician Gerry Rafferty (famous for the aforementioned 'Baker Street' and 'Stuck In The Middle With You' from his days in the band Stealer's Wheel, made famous by appearance in Reservoir Dogs. He also was briefly in a band with comedian Billy Connoly called the Humblebums)has been missing since last August, I learned on Wikipedia today. Strange.

:( I like him.

I like him, too. 'Baker Street' was always a favorite of mine.

How sad. 'Baker Street' is one of the best songs about alcoholism ever written.

Great sax solo, too. And he does have such a fine, easy voice.

Damn, I had no idea. I do hope he is ok.

He's a rolling stone.

What a sad story. I always liked him, too, esp. for "Baker Street."

Wow...that's a long time to be missing. I've just been learning "Right Down The Line" recently on guitar, too.
