If I may, I dedicate this song to a Republican Pres. Candidate.

James Michael Taylor played this last night at Hermann Sons to close out the night and left us all stunned. He told me he's never played this one in a jam before I told him...well it wasn't repeatable because we've all been missing a great song experience. Request it next time you see him.

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.”

No, I never wrote the song, but always thought I would begin the song with the sound of my 12 guage shotgun as I open the action.
Gunshots and clapping are very hard to record. But there are plenty of places to go grab a sample.

This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…
I decided to keep working on this one a bit on the "keep messing with it" program.... added some backing vocals and some piano.... kind of like where its heading after the one take wonder before... Any other suggestions are very welcome…
I wrote this song about 2 years ago and shared it here on Alonetone back then. I decided to do a studio recording of it recently. With the help of the team at F5 Soundhouse here in Minneapolis we've created this updated version. I hope you enjoy…

I like it! It has a catchy tune and a mysterious message. I'm curious as to how this song came to be.

I find this very soothing. I like the way you build it and then take it back to the theme before taking it on out.
This is really peppy. Like the snappyness of the midi stuff. Maybe I'll try some midi guitar.
I really like this song. Especially the vocal. Sad Rock! But...there are places it's so far back into the mix that I can't tell what she is saying. AND...thanks for listening to my music.
Strange how you have such happy music with such sad story.
Acoustic Tull. Love it.
Very good lyric and delivery. Please put your words up.

Sooooo relaxing...
Very soothing.
Boy, this is a wake up. Love the energy.
Immediately captures the harshness. The unpredictability of it.
Been there.
I've got no monopoly on clever... Especially like, "Is there nothing you believe in that could not withstand a scrutinous review?"
Nice wake-up song. Like the harmonies.
Enjoying this again. Such a fine song. So well done.
