Paul Murphy - 'As A Storm Raged Outside'

Some judicious as-you-sing editing done here - too much, in hindsight, was being revealed in tnis one - hence the occasional hesitant vocal.

On a trivia note, this was the last time I ever played a guitar, and almost the last day I was able to stand before the legs failed completely, having lost my 11-year battle with F-MND. At 9 weeks shy of turning 64. So much for being a teetotal, non-smoking vegetarian for all my adult life, huh.
