This would take some serious time and thought, but that song is definitely on my list.
Inspired choice Jeff.
And I gotta give some serious  :wub: to Wild one and Old Flame as well.
Nobody could write this stuff like Phil.
 
Wild One. Man, this is to make even grown men cry. Just wonderful. Phil was the real one of the greatest romantics of rock 'n' roll.
