@Donovan1501 It's on the album shown in the picture. I think it's called "Pete" -- from 1979, I believe.

What a beautiful song. I first heard as part of Spoon River Anthology, but I always figured it had to be older than that.

I've heard I don't know how many renditions of this lovely song but somehow I missed Pete.
Thank you.
