• Ber from HollandI once heard that this song was a kind of soft parody on the experimental songs by the Beatles and the Beach Boys. Hole in my shoe versus I'm fixing a hole, reverse played music, spoken word, strange instruments played...It made this song the collage of sounds that it is.
• Lionheart From La from Los AngelesBorn and raised in the UK I loved this song. It typified the era of 60’s and although Steve Winwood hated it, for me it was brilliant. I’m sorry Francine drifted into the wilderness, but it was Francine that made this record a hit for me. Great times! Great memories!
• Robert from England...Although this playful psychedelic song came out during flower power the Summer of Love... We never really lose reality as the hole in the shoe keep letting in water bring us back to the now of today...
• Ged from Australia"The monologue in the middle of the song was by Francine Heimann. Little is known about her."
  
  Indeed, this is true. Perhaps why I became obsessed with wondering who she was and where she is now.
  
  I will not tell you how I did it, or what her name now is or where she lives, but I did find her.
  
  We spoke briefly via a chat-function. I got the impression that she has gone all these years without ever telling anyone about her brush with Rock & Roll Fame. I voluntarily agreed not to reveal anything that might identify her. Don't ask.
  
  But here's one tiny snippet that cannot hurt: Her *best* memory of that day was meeting Steve Winwood - who was a thoroughly decent human being by her own account. So there ya go!
• Mike from London, United KingdomSongfacts does not list Traffic's superbly intelligent pop hit, 'Paper Sun' from the summer of love. It offers a good pub quiz question: who shouts at the end - 'That's the one!' - as the song fades....And BTW, the whole crew of the tv series The Young Ones linked up in the 80s with Cliff Richard in a re-recording of Richard's 1959 hit, 'Livin' Doll' a charity fundraiser...
• Niles from Belpre, OhI saw Dave Mason perform with the late Warren Zevon. best concert I've been to . I'm 62 and I've seen a few
