I'm like you. The Trio hit it big about the time I was finishing high school. I thought I'd heard everything they had recorded. Then 20 years later - in the late 1970's - I heard this on the radio and grabbed a cassette recorder and got most of it on tape, and listened to it a lot the next few years. The Wayward Wind by Gogi Grant is still the song I relate to the most, but this is a close second. Eventually I learned that this was the Trio singing this song, and I felt pretty foolish, not having recognized them. I like this song so much that I've even written some more verses, about other towns. Now if I could only sing....
