Searching for this song for years, remember it from early 70s when i was about 15, should have been a hit, music was better in the 70s, splinter had great songs, thanks phivosify for uploading.

@faunoran - Pleased you like this track, there are many more uploads to be found on both my sites. Bill lives in Portugal and Bob still in the North-East. They indeed did write some good tunes.
