Oh wow, the memories... High-school, cafés with real juke-boxes and pinballs... sigh.

as an old-ish "Paisley buddy" (like Gerry), I echo your sentiments.
Sad but true that most younger folks these days know "Baker St" purely as a sax break and have no idea that the catchy tune that Michael Marsden is dancing to while he butchers the cop in Reservoir Dogs is actually a Gerry Rafferty track too :-(

Baker Street singer Gerry Rafferty dies at age of 63.

I was born in '61, but I hated that era for music, don't know why, maybe the crass cheesey lyrics.
It wasn't until this guy appeared with Baker Street, Night Owl etc that I started taking an interest in music.
I challenge anyone to travel the Hammersmith & City line of the London Underground without humming that song to themselves when they pass through Baker Street.
RIP Gerry.
