1. I love Al Stewart

Year of the Cat is one of my all-time favorite songs. But he has a lot of good ones.

6. Same Here!

I played it back in the late 70s. Obviously, we couldn't make it as lush.
And, I wasn't a good enough guitar player yet to really do it justice, but I sure loved doing it.

2. I think my favourite is "Year of the Cat"

It literally gives me goosebumps!

"She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat"

[MissMillie]

3. That particular lyric

is maybe the best example EVER of how words can paint a picture in a song.

One can actually envision the woman.

4. Yes! And the saxophone is just incredible in that song.

When I was younger, I literally used to cry when I heard that song, because the music was so beautiful.

5. I love watching young people discovering real music on YouTube. Here's a 22-year old discovering that song.
