"...And Eat Your Vegetables, Too..."

Raphael Ravenscroft.
Pretty cool name, huh?
Never heard of him, right?
He's pretty well known, though.
And he's probably getting some heavy duty mention in the press today.
Because Gerry Rafferty died yesterday.
For those of you who don't know Gerry's work, he was a founder of a seminal 70's group, Stealer's Wheel, a band that had such oldies radio staples as "Stuck In The Middle With You" and "Star".
Gerry went solo after the band had its heyday.
Went on to have a couple of minor hits.
And one mega-monster.
"Baker Street".
And Raphael Ravenscroft?
You've probably never seen him, let alone heard of him.
But you've heard him.
And will for a long long time.
The moral of today's story...
When your mom tells you to practice your sax...
Practice your sax.
Nice work, Raf....
And Godspeed, Gerry...
