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".

"dump" was the original. Oh, well
