About ten years ago I heard a live song by David Bromberg that still haunts me, I know haunt is cliche' but it does. Problem is, I never could find it- a friend's father played it for me, and then I lost touch. The song is about a guy named Curtis who loved a girl named Delia, who in turn did not love him. She either was a prostitute or a girl of relaxed morals- "Delia, Delia, how could it be?/ You loved all those 'round us,/ but you never did love me/"

So, in the Old West way, Curtis killed her. The song is thus Curtis reflecting in his jail cell. The refrain: "She's all I got, is gone" combined with Bromberg's acoustic accompaniment, resonates with every moment you've ever spent mourning a loss.

To top it all off, Bromberg has this person playing the harmonica during part of the song. Whoever this person is, Whatever Gods There Are touched her/him, at least for the duration of the song. The solo could bring midnight to the brightest noon. I'm not lying.

I would really, really, really love whoever could put me on the trail of this song. I would bleed on command for whoever could show me the way to this recording.

Thank you. I'm not usually this plaintive. Mike
