[Hi-Fi Mono] The initial song performed on this occasion, with the house band providing musical support for Mr. Zevon. One of his earliest "signature" songs from his long career, captured here.
Apologies for the slight hum in the signal. This was always present in the recording/broadcast, I'm afraid.

Keep Me In Your Heart is one of a group of songs that I want played during my wake. Miss him a bunch.
