Day 126: Baby can I hold you, Tracey Chapman

I remember exactly where I was when I heard Tracey Chapman’s first hit. It was my final honours year at Sydney University and it was in the afternoon. I was downstairs in the Anderson Stuart building working on dissecting some chic motorneurons in a tissue culture cabinet. I had the radio playing and “Fast Cars” by Tracey Chapman was played. Although I enjoyed the song I thought the person singing was male. Anyway, a little later I bought the album and this was another hit song that was on it which I think is a little better.
