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.

Arg! My speakers are not speaking and I'm not sure why. Unable to listen to the new version of CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT. When it is translated to Hindi I'll make another effort to figure out what is wrong with the speakers. Keren

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 :)

You are truly one of the greatest song writers of this decade. Right there with Paul Simon and Gordon Lightfoot in my opinion. All I can say off that sadness and anger is still strong pray to God for peace as only he holds the way to you being able to let b it go. You can't change other people or events that have happened, but you can learn to forgive and change how YOU react to them. If you ever feel nobody cares or will listen, call me. I'll find time and make the time to meet with you or listen over the phone. Don't let depression or anger beat you down for too long old friend.

Sometimes you post a song with a link that brings up an album. I don't always listen to the full album because of the rush of life. But I'm trying to remember one of the very recent ones ... I think it (the song)_ was called "Sometime". It is so beautifully poetic and the feeling is passed along so gracefully. It is truly an expression of sweet sorrow, or more accurately, a sweet expression of the numbing pain of loss. It is the thing that my story songs just don't quite do. Lazarus Knight

The mood of this song reminds me of John Denver's "Perhaps Love." He explained that he wrote it when he was no longer in a relationship but that, while there was sorrow and pain, there was also the beautiful memory of love to see him through. You've captured the bittersweetness -so different from melancholy - of the best haiku poems.

Beautiful and Haunting.
It is not we, who summon ghosts from the past. Rather it is we who haunt our past. It's like going back to the present.
In some instances, I suffer from being the perpetrator and can't avoid picking at the scab.
But that's just me.

Years ago I was riding around on the raggedy motorcycle I had at the time and spotted this girl in a Chevy pickup at the Dairy Queen. She was cute and I pulled in. We talked and laughed and seemed to get along well. Through the years I'd run…

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.
Great tune.

David Young Wow! Beautiful song! One of your best.
Leslie Young Evocative song.
John R. Thielges I think you bring poetry to grief; in an unique way. "Help" and hickory sticks. Thank you.
Raechel Frice James Michael Taylor the story telling aspect of your songs/lyrics remind me of John Denver. This is meant as a compliment.
Paul Smith James Michael Taylor I freaking love your music.
Randy Brown I think everyone was hesitant to encourage the final solution. I love the melody and the sadness of the lyrics.

Brian Gagnon I fought this feeling by staying angry. 30+ years later, I'm still angry.

David Young Very sad song but your lyrics are wonderfully written, as always. You are a musical treasure!
Kat Angel Heartfelt and beautiful.
Leslie Young Sad song.
This sounds like more verses to Hey, Regina...
What a sweet song. That guitar figure really catches the time...
