I had never heard this Paul Thorn song before. In fact, I don't believe I have ever heard of Paul Thorn. Anyway, I really liked this song "Where Was I". It was a very emotional song that only someone that had those feeling could write.
Bart, he was a frequent guest on the "Bob and Tom" radio show. That is where I first heard him. He is an ex-fighter (pro) with a colorful past and great stories to tell. If you need cheering up he is probably best known for "It's a Great Day".

Go to 33:44 mins of this video... Who are You Now by Justin Hayward playing with John Lodge on the Blue Jays album... this is more beautiful than sad. There is even a YT clip of Justin Singing it for the person he wrote it about present in the audience... quite special.

Here's father and son... not the Cat Stevens song but Macarthur Park by Richard Harris and Windmills of your mind by his son Noel Harris

It's easy to mix up Brits with similar names. Noel Harrison is the son of Rex Harrison (of My Fair Lady fame). If Richard Harris had fathered Noel Harrison, Richard would have been 4 years old when he did it. But knowing him, that might have been possible.

There are many reasons why this is the saddest song I've ever heard:
1. The song is about the loss of someone dear to you. I can relate to that.
2. Her voice is just perfect for this song -- smooth yet full of emotion.
3. Eva Cassidy was completely unknown for her entire performing career.
4. She died not long after this video was made.

Duh! Brain malfunction! Of course, you are right Dennis... and I know I it's Rex Harrison's son as I posted that info a couple of years back when I covered the song. I'm having a bit of a muddled week!
