For those of you fans of mid-to-late 70's stuff by people like Parker, E.
Costello, etc., here's a "blast from the past". This song was on an album
called "Squeezing Out Sparks" (a great record). The song caused a fair
amount of controversy around the abortion issue; you all can be your own
judges. I've gotten so much from this group that I wanted to finally
contribute by posting something that might be a little offbeat and of
interest to folks...
