Ah, it was around this time of year in '69 that this song started getting airplay, though my brother had turned me onto it months before. Great song for hot and slow-moving evenings. A song with hints of hope, romance, and calm. Forty one years later one looks around and can be forgiven for wondering what the hell happened. Time for another bourbon, see ya tomorrow...
