One of the best albums ever. Baker Street is a classic with perfect production, vocals, and music. So sad Gerry succumbed to the Irish disease.

That song "Baker Street" had real meaning for me...that song came out when I was on what I knew was going to be my last Med cruise in the Navy, and I was ready to go home, be with my family and friends, I missed them so much.

We were OUTCHOPing on the JFK, anchored off Rota, Spain before we sailed back across the Atlantic to go home. The morning we were weighing anchor, they played that sound over the 1MC for the entire crew, and the last words have just stayed with me my whole life:

But you know he'll always keep moving
You know he's never gonna stop moving
'Cause he's rolling, he's the rolling stone
And when you wake up, it's a new morning
The sun is shining, it's a new morning
And you're going, you're going home

Whoever chose that song that morning is a hero to me. Every time I hear that song, even now, I get a wave of wonderful nostalgia, remembering how good it felt to be going back to my family and friends...:)
