Thank you to the fellas from Jazzanova for putting me on this gem from the "Blue Note Trip" series, which I got my hands on way back in 2008. I've never been the same since!
Wowthanks for this! Boomers need not look back - we will turn to stone! Instead. listen to this treasure groove of jazz hipness in this particular moment of time - this music never gets old!

I played this to my Mum whilst she was in the hospice, she was nearly gone at that point but I had to share those precious moments with her. This song helped me grieve through so much of her illness at the end and now afterwards. I wish i could let Michael Franks know how much this song means to me. His beautiful music and lyrics.
