The Maury Muehleisen album is a great album. It contains some strong songs,
like for instance (Love Is) Just A Passing Thing and Wintry Morning/Joanne,
which have lovely melodies and arrangements that kind of remind me of The
Left Banke. It's definately an album to put on anyone's want list. As far as
I know, it was never released on CD; at least I have never seen it on CD.
The song I Remember Mary is not on this album. Maury also was the writer of
one of Jim Croce's best songs (in my humble opinion) Salon & Saloon.
