Cracking tune, been playing it out and sounds magnificent - Try Rob Moss on Facebook if you're on there, if not the Hayley records website

I first posted the track after the guitarist who plays on it sent it me. He came on here to talk about it. That was a few years ago now.

I had that too, but he didn't play on it, he was Jimmy Delphs guitarist in Ohio in later years...Just found his email:

Hi -- I played in Jimmy's backup band in the early 1980's, after all his recordings. We used to do gigs around Detroit, southeast Michigan, and Toledo, Ohio. I was in my 20's at the time and did not realize how significant or profound Jimmy was really. When I listen to him now, he sounds like a cross between Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and Marvin Gaye. He can do what each of them did. I saw a posting about "Don't Sign the Papers" where the person said that Jimmy might have been a mega-star in some alternative universe. I think that is correct. Jimmy was perfectionist to work for. He could be demanding. But he was a gentleman. I have heard that he leads a choir in a church in Toledo, Ohio, his hometown.

Missed this one somehow, just ordered one. Great tunes

[Weingarden]

Was going to issue this myself but never got around to it. Now I don't need to.

I bought the Hayley release and have to say that I prefer the "our last goodbye" side. The bass playing  on the intro is some  of the best I've ever heard and the string arrangements are superb throughout. Of course Jimmy's vocal is incredible.
