I love the idea of a bread man! We have one in our village in Italy :)

I love this song - it reminds me of early mornings for some reason! The perfect song for a bread man!

This is probaly late 60's or early 70's, & is one of Paul's first songs with "Mala". Paul then sang more songs in the early 70's like "Egoda gode" (composed by melroy D).
