In case folks were wondering, the verse is from the Gordon Lightfoot song "Carefree Highway."
Thanks for your indulgence of my sentimental post on this mostly political blog.

Hi, Linda
I'm sure you have no idea who I am, but Roger and I were briefly in a rock band together at NK in '67/'68. He was a year ahead of me, in school, and played bass in the band. I always liked Roger as he was a very kind and gentle soul. He and I would jam, occasionally, at your house in Kingston (I lived in Indianola). The last time I saw him was sometime during the mid '70s while he was living at Miller's Bay, and driving that very cool USPS truck. I remember he played piano on one of my pieces. I've often wondered what became of Roger, and now, some years too late, I've found out.
He'll always be a special person, to me.
