about

Lesl Harker is a lovely woman who spent countless hours with Rafferty, playing tunes, learning, and recording. She was great for keeping everything she got organized for later reference. One of the many gems she recorded from him was Rafferty's version of "The Beauty Spot." Although Rafferty had no name for the second tune for me, it is similar to the tune, "For The Sake of Old Decency." Lesl said Mike told her they used to call it the other "Lady Gordon." I end the tune the same way he did on my old lesson tape.
