What Jerry's beauty also extended to was his ability to sing a story. He paints a picture and relates in a very real and tangible way. You feel you are along for the ride. He knows which parts to sing with more emphasis and what way, I guess one mark of a good folk musician. This song is an excellent example of that. Comes a time, black peter, Mission in the rain, Stella Blue, Morning Dew also come to mind. What a Gift he is. I can't wait to hear his music in his next life time. With a smile and a wink, We'll know... We'll know. Shine on.
