LH as a modeler in my youth and even ocassionally now---I know what you mean. Another angle struck me that is every bit as powerful as endangered egos: The store had either over-bought that one and was having a heck of a time getting rid of them or it was the kit that gave them the biggest profit margin. Ego is always around regarless of the stituation.

But back to the song. I was still just teaching my self the guitar at that time ( I know, late start ) but I sat down and figured that one out all on my own and even the bridge which I felt reaaly good about! Wow! I was a folk player. I didn't dare call myself a singer at that time. Very little confidence in my voice. Anyhow it is a great ballad that captures the pathos of love and love gone wrong. It was written from the heart.
