Goodbye Gerry Rafferty.

I'm very sad to learn of the death of the great Scottish singer/songwriter Gerry Rafferty. Most people probably know him from "Stuck in the Middle with You" (with Stealers Wheel) or "Baker Street." I love his songs, his sweet, burnished voice and the incredibly lush production on his albums.
Gerry was 63 years old. He died peacefully in bed, after a long illness.
