The man on the radio said we are falling apart

Falling apart…
After years of consideration, I am now ready to announce: "Best JMT Album!"
This is it... you are listening to it now... QUE PASO
Sure, there are other albums which are deserving... but this album gets the distinction because it is one solid JMT song after another. This album has a very good selection of songs on the playlist, and it has very good sound and voice quality to the recordings. And of course... this album has some of the best JMT lyrics he ever wrote!
For those of you who are asking, "Hey! Just who the hell are you to make such a declaration?!" My answer: Just ask Jimmy. Jimmy may not agree with my choice, but I believe he will confirm that he will damn sure consider my submission.

Not fooled by mocking birds & I’m not fooled by hope. Best line I have heard in awhile. Also I’m thinking to use as a hook in a song “the last time I said goodbye.”

Amazes me how you are never afraid to stretch the boundries, always squeezing the very last drop of originality & possibility from your many facets of talent.

INFATUATION, UNREQUITED
They say it's just infatuation
I only wish that it was true
Infatuation, unrequited
Feels like love to, for you

And I don't know what to do
The autumn leaves, the branched…

James' friend asked me to guide him around Amsterdam.
We met at the Van Gogh museum. We talk more than we meet...
It was a long, honest and interesting conversation...
Like everyone else, I've experienced highlights from other days that I'll never forget and probably worth saying.
James Michael Taylor later dedicated a song to this single but unforgettable encounter or conversation...
James Michael Taylor was a great pleasure having nice, honest and interesting chat. Still remember.

Busted out this tasty delight overnight with my good buddy Timmy D! Oh we had a good time. We worked on the instrumentation from 6 PM to 2 AM, woke up at 7AM and recorded vocals until Tim had to leave at 10AM. It was a great jam night.
