this is just beautiful...lovely vocals...guitar solo in sundown mode...sweet indeed

I first heard this song yesterday when I was listening to you reading "I bury my dead", and I immediately loved it. I'm sure I would have loved it without hearing the story too, but it sure adds a lot of meaning and depths to it. Great work, James!

Hey, that's an unexpected style from you. Nice old-school (60s) feel.

You are a proof for my conviction that a good lyric is a requirement for a good song. All your lyrics are great IMO, and so are your songs.

interesting song,,,very nice story telling,, i think i'll need to listen a few more times

Great great James. I like the picture you took of him thru the window on FB.

Wonderful that you got to do this while he's still around to appreciate it!

This is really beautifully done.

Well, at least you know who you are, that's a lot more than some.

Great song James!

Love it James!

Dig it! Oh yeah.... LG

Beautiful song, Jim.

honesty and info rolled into a nice melodic thread. enjoyed very much. Telsa. thanks JMT!

Right on, I would say.

Good stuff, James!

It's great the way you remember so many of the details of your life. You so beautifully weave bits of memory into a story cloth. Every line holds my attention always waiting for your next thought. Thanks again for sharing your amazingly human and heartfelt stories.

I can relate to this. Good one Al

Song well done and voice good. Guitar and chords very nice. Not sure about the way words fit, or something, sounds too much like a commercial. Just a collection of facts.

love the stumbling drunk feel to the bass and drums great vocal

One of my favorites of yours of all I've heard, Jim. Melody is so pretty and chord changes unusual. Guitar intro, so pretty, as is the whole song. Sweet story, and sweet song. I can relate to the adult child who wonders at her/his mother's girlhood love.

Marcie Brooks James Michael Taylor another profound poem/song.

Marcie Brooks Lovingly sad yet hauntingly beautiful

Jere Reiser I can't imagine. I spent 3 days in the Federal prison in Brownsville for attempting to smuggle 100 biphetamines into the US. They made me shower by myself and when I stepped out there were 8 guys standing about 10 ft away observing and making comments. It went down hill from there. I was threatened and hassled for two nights but stayed awake as advised and was discharged without incident. Childsplay.

Marcie Brooks Whew! What a powerful song. Thank you for sharing James. Love you man

Lazarus Knight That will always be my favorite. No doubt the history plays a part.

Tim Tandy Wow, it's still as powerful as the very first time I met you and heard it, at a Concert in the Attic, sitting next to Barbara, who was silently mouthing occasional lyrics with tears on her cheeks.

very cool. I like the production. Ed Rogers

Candy Davis, "Another beautiful song, Jim."

Your tracks aren't working for me.

Love it, BUT THE SUN... is where my love for your sounds began. Freddy Molina

hey I love the track BURDEN OF SANITY, one you can hear over and over, so amazing! Heath Wolf

Sweet.

Yep! Me too. And don't forget that place that sold Pecan candy.

Great. Perfect for this week in Cowtown.

Ha! I like it Terry Kuntz

Greg West James Michael Taylor , even though his political views were the exact opposite of mine, he played me a few songs on a cd that a guy in Tarrant Co. wrote. He said “this is what it’s all about.” The songs were Help, and Hickory Sticks. So, he occasionally made sense. (John DeFoore)

Lauryl Blossom James, oh, I know. Walk those woods after dark, careful not to wake the sleeping souls. I lived in West Meadowbrook. I'm not sure if you remember, but you and I met through Sunshine. I love your song.

I really like this. It's got a lot going on but the voice is clear and there is a sense of space.

Kat Angel Most excellent, James.
