I love this tune, and it's perfect for me right now: I'm stuck in Buffalo, NY, delayed on my way back to OH from christmas break back home. It's windy, and Snowing like crazy, and the Town is at a virtual standstill.

This recording is so full of imagery: A rainy, soggy day in downtown Manhattan in the 60's; The empty streets of storm-swept Buffalo; A hot, humid, stuffy basement bar (the kind of humid heat only radiator heat can create) with this on the Jukebox; A solitary man at a candle-lit table in a fancy restaurant, left waiting for a date who never came, closing time.
