Wow, I just stumbled across this song last night and fell in love with it. Simple and powerful. Especially considering the current situtation...
I assume it's written by Bob Davenport as it's the only version I've found. Was just wondering if anyone had any more information about it, like what inspired him to write it?

Sorry, but in your last two (maybe only two under this GUEST name) posts to Mudcat you may have returned to read how people replied to to your question, but not once did you gave a reply in return. Good luck to you.

Mods, I don't know how the double post happened, my apologies, but it did.

"I don't know how the double post happened"
He only does it to annoy
Because he knows it teases :-)

The clip works fine with me.

THe song is written by Bob Davenport and on his album "The Common Stone".

Aside to Starship: I don't think anybody knows why it happens. Double-clicking, internet hiccups, something. Jim holds the world's record for double-posting. He probably doesn't know why it happens, either. Now, back on topic:

Try this Bob Davenport, "Police Patrol"

Re. Links to YouTube videos.
The one in the OP is a cut'n'paste from the URL in the web address line. This sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It may be on a nation basis but I don't think this is always the case. The best way to share YouTube Videos is this -
* Underneath each video on the YouTube site are Thumbs Up & Down sites to show how many have liked or disliked it.
* Next to that is an arrow and "Share"
* Click on that and a web address comes up which can be can be copied and posted into your URL line and it will always work. A clue is that this type of address will never have a "=" or a"?" in it.

Here is an example - Click on https://youtu.be/dGrNae54CLE to see my all time favourite Youtube video.

My apologies to not responding to the other threads. I am very grateful for the responses but did not have much else to add to the conversations and am also very easily distracted when online...

Ash Ludd, I withdraw my previous remarks and apologize.

I think you should be able to reach Mr Davenport through his site, or find a contact method through his page. If I can be of assistance at sometime in the future I will be most pleased to do what I can. Once again, sorry about the terse remarks.

The one I posted doesn't work? Works for me, but maybe something's messed up I can't see.
