Like many good songs, this one is by Si Kahn. It may have been recorded by others, but it can be found on Si's 1984 record, "Unfinished Portraits." The title is "Easy and Slow," not to be confused with the bawdy song of the same title."


I have NO idea who the gal was you heard sing it.

Good post, Dan. Had I read the thread more closely I wouldn't have bothered looking at all because you'd already posted it. My apologies--I didn't doubt you, I simply thought someone was looking.
