My favorite Gerry Rafferty tune is “Baker Street”...for me, when I hear it, it brings me back to when I was in the USN, anchored off Rota Spain, outbound back to the USA and the USS Eisenhower was relieving us, anchored a short distance away.

When I woke up that morning, it was to the ship’s 1MC system playing “Baker Street” with the last stanza obviously the one they meant for us to hear...

When you wake up, it’s a new mornin’
The sun is shinin’, it’s a new mornin’
You’re goin’, you’re goin’ home

What a grand day-going home to my friends and loved ones...:)

Yes, Baker Street is an absolute gem.
