Outside of the sports teams, there isn’t much I carried to Florida from Philly 30 years ago.

This song is probably the only other thing I miss about being home. It’s a staple on WMMR in Philly starting right after Thanksgiving. The late great Pierre Robert would play it all the time. I sent Pierre an email shortly after my daughter was born hoping to get a copy of the song from him. I thought I would never hear back but took a shot. Xmas eve of 2004 he returned the email asking me for my address and sent me a signed copy of the song.

Pierre died earlier this year. His legend will live on and songs like this make sure of it.

Iggle - can you confirm if this is still being played on MMR daily at this time of year?

I identify as the poster with the most suspensions in UHND history.
