My friend, George Sluizer was making a film DARK BLOOD with River Phoenix and asked me to submit some music to possibly be used in the movie. He didn’t end up using this but he did use four other of my submissions.

HURRY
I'm not in a hurry
I've got all day to get there
You don't have to worry
I learned my lesson out there
I spent all night in Utah
As I make Green River
The chains banged on the exhaust
Til she began to quiver
Asphyxiation creates…

Psychedelic, rich in groovy colors and flavor! My kind of thing. I'm really glad you went there. Alert me if you have anything else like this one in your collection. FAR OUT!
RONDA'S THEME
Ronda. Ronda.
In her faded blue jeans
with her guitar she sings
It's just one of the things
about Ronda.
Ronda was a little girl
Just like you
Once upon a time
But now, but now
She's RONDA

I sure dig the flavor of this one! The chords, scale, melody, vocals, effects -- it all suits my fancy but for the brevity. I could of used at least another 3 minutes of this.
I doubled all the lines to help me and a friend learn the song.
There is a shortened version on down the page if you don't want to have to hear every line repeated.

Probably anyone who plays the guitar could write this song....
Someone asked if I was actually in Spain in 2003. Actually, 2000. Working on the movie, THE STONE RAFT with George Sluizer, from a book by Jose Saramago.
Inspired by something Jenni…
These lyrics are brilliant! Great vocal delivery, making the lyrics real. Good music and an excellent mix down and mastering job. Liking the tone of the lead picking.
I sent that link to my bff Misty. Remember her?
This was her response: I love the juxtaposition of the absurdity of the subject to the poignancy of the underlying message. Spoken like an English teacher. Michael Soto
Yeah, there's an "Indian" graveyard somewhere out there at the Stock Yards.

James Michael Taylor oooo...shadows and regret...I am happy to say I haven't much regret...a lot of deep sorrow...pocketed in loss...shock that is oh so slow to wear off

So, this friend listens to The Couch and immediately tells me I MUST mention the imaginary friends behind the couch. That "hair" is gookie. It didn't occur to her that if I mentioned all the things listeners thought of when they listened to the song, we would still be singing...
I FELL IN LOVE WITH TEXAS
Well, I was not born in Texas
I just came here for a while
You give a state like this an inch
It turns into a mile
I came to stay a day or two
It turned into a life
Now I've got three hungry kids
And one Texas…
Robert Dwain Elliott
I met a man named Michael today, Standing beside a hallway, With a cool coat and wearing a throng, For some $$$ he’ll sing you a song. (He was not born in Texas, he just came here for a while).He did run over a chicken on the road once… Feathers in the Wind.

He can’t hold both their hands but he must stand between them and you know it’s for nothing he (C) did
And you (F) know it’s…
Lee, I just dialed up TROJAN. By the time I read the 1st four lines I was crying.. Maybe, after all these years it a lot deeper than back when I wrote it.

I love the song. But change the hair and pins line to” my imaginary friends or images of my imaginary friends.

The hair and pins line may be the truth but too gross.

Hello…old friend. This one hits me in the heart. When we moved here to NM back in June… we left behind in the house, our old couch that we’d used for 22 years. It had been my parents before that. It was probably close to 40 yrs old. And yes, it made into a bed.

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
I love that fuzzy fuzz.
Wow! what nice singing...brings to mind a favorite group of mine sounds I didn't expect in this song really take it someplace very interestin
Excellent
Psychedelic, rich in groovy colors and flavor! My kind of thing. I'm really glad you went there. Alert me if you have anything else like this one in your collection. FAR OUT!
nice theme fer a soundtrack... c):~)
I sure dig the flavor of this one! The chords, scale, melody, vocals, effects -- it all suits my fancy but for the brevity. I could of used at least another 3 minutes of this.
You are particularly talented at lyrics -- brilliant!
Classical folk at its best. Wonderful songwriting, James!
heh-heh, pretty cool, short, sweet and to tha point... c):~)
Yeah. Way harder to keep "in tune". ;)
You got me laughing this morning!
I was laughing before I got to the song. Why do I always name my guitars with girls names? That's it, my next guitar is Butch. Period. :)
Very cool
Short and sweet! I love it!!!!
:D Rock on, James!
This is superb. Even the girl in this house laughed.
I dig this, and relate -- each of my guitars are convinced I love them more than the others.
These lyrics are brilliant! Great vocal delivery, making the lyrics real. Good music and an excellent mix down and mastering job. Liking the tone of the lead picking.
harbored grudges and tethered hearts...broken glasses and fingers...
I like it. Sticks in the brain.
