There was this biker bar called The 2500 Club. Just west of Sylvania on Belknap. On a sign outside it says, "The best little biker bar in Texas." Guthrie and Rick and I played there long enough to get to feeling pretty much like family.

reminds me of a song being played on a turntable in a old hotel during a horror movie scene, in a good way that is. If you can take that as a compliment :)

THE WALK
I drove 400 miles that night
East of Dallas to Abilene
And the hopes that I held in my headlights
Were hopes like I'd never seen
She called me from work that afternoon
She said she'd be off about 2 AM
Said it would be nice…
Refuge into the imagination:
Is it crazy?
Is it survival?
Is desire to survive crazy?

Thanks for taking time to listen and comment, I'm sure you know how nice it is to get any kind of feed back. Once I got two comments on a song in one week, a song called THERE SHE WAS. A long story song. 6 minutes. Never dreamed I could actually commit it to memory, but I was so motivated by the feedback, I DID learn it and I've been singing it ever since. So, thanks, again.

I love that you let the quirky idea it's based on never take over your personal/conversational idea, yet you keep that quirky idea alive the entire song. You have a knack for writing very descriptive songs with twists like that.

Regarding that hair, I seem to recall a song where you're washing your hair with Mother's shampoo!

I stand corrected, it's Gramma. Great song!

THE CHILD WITH THE BEAUTIFUL NAME

I’m (Am) going back to California
A little place in the San (E) Joaquin

I’m going back…
This song tells about a guy I know named Gene.

Gene had a girlfriend
The band would play and they would dance
She was tall and Gene was tall
A lovely late romance
They'd smile and hold each other
They'd sit and share a drink

You are one of the most beautiful people I know. I love your soul. She was an amazing person too, and, yes, had a beautiful voice. Like Reply3m Active James Michael Taylor Lauryl Blossom Thank you for listening. When we sang together all the troubles of our life were forgotten. I love when people who weren't around back then listen to us sing. Our harmonies were as beautiful to us as they were to our listeners.

I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

Nicely done mate sounds like a very cool bar.
First Class James.
Wow - Killer vocal melody and awesome harmonies. I frickin' love it!
Wonderful, honest vocal. I always admire your lyrics anyway, but this is emotionally painful too. So, beautiful!
Masterful writing and playing and I can hear the emotion.
Nice one mate.
Thanks James. What a beautiful song--We're going to learn it if only for our own edification!. Best, Robert and Sarah Aberg
Ha ha, it's like hearing it for the first time each different track, except that now I can sing along. This is a lovely version.
Funny, sounds just like you! Lovely track1
Not creepy crawley at all, but cute!
Ah, a plea from the heart. Very tender JM.

Daniel Boling Such a heartbreaking and beautiful song. [FWIW, there's a fair bit of discrepancy between this recording and the accompanying text.]
