    Transported me back to another time, listening to this on my older sisters transistor radio here in Australia mid 60’s and I’m pretty sure you would have been listening to it on the other side of the world at the same time. Magical how music transcends time and space. Thanks Ian for the beautiful rendition of a true classic.✌🏾
