Would be interesting to see other peoples choices?
Wow! This was like reading my own list, with most of the songs coming from those early albums ! I might`ve swapped Shoeshine Boy and Blood and Glory for a couple of his more from-the-heart songs like Her Father Didn`t Like Me and Family Tree, but otherwise I think we`re on the same track.

I`ve been trying to convey the special appeal of Rafferty`s songs, but you`ve done an excellent job of that yourself. Well done !
