GUEST,Jer	Lyr Req: Annie: 'Old oaks stand tall...' (10)	RE: Lyr Req: Old Oaks Stand Tall, Annie	24 Apr 08
This song first appeared on the album "Rough Mix" by Pete Townsend (of the Who) and Ronnie Lane (of the Small Faces and later the Faces), released September 1977. The singer, by the way, is Ronnie Lane, not Eric Clapton (at least, this version). Clapton in all likelihood plays guitar on the song as he is credited on the album as a performer and, as noted, as a co-writer of the song. I fell in love with the song from the first time I heard it, back in the fall of '77. During the recording of the album in 1976/77, Ronnie Lane was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but he lived another 20 years before succumbing to the disease.
