Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Sad to hear of his death today . I met him when I was 17 and working in a hotel in Edinburgh. He signed the back of an envelope for me and gave me and my friend tickets for his concert and back stage passes for the party afterwards . Apparently Baker Street made him £80,000 a year .

Seagazer Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Such sad news to hear this morning. Baker Street and Stuck in the middle with you are two of my favourite songs from that time. I just need to hear Baker Street and it takes me right back to my teenage years and a lovely hot summer. RIP Gerry Rafferty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seagazer Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I heard a lot of his songs on Radio 2 yesterday, some that I'd forgotten about and a really beautiful one that I'd never heard before. I'm going to have a look on itunes and download a few I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
