Something just broke and I think it's my heart
It wasn't an arrow. It wasn't a dart
It mighta been a meter that tore it apart

A GOOD CRY
Rick Babb/JMT
Why don't you cry
I know you need to
A tear is meant to ease your pain
A flood could come
And it would wash you
So, don't you try and hold it back
A good cry can't be bad
Why don't you cry
Come her, I'll…

THE PICNIC
The sun broke like glass on the water
The trees threw their shade on the sand
The ants ate the crumbs on the blanket
She ate the grapes from my hand
We didn't know what we were doing
It all started off with a smile
And an innocent…

When I was a kid, my dad was the preacher at the Church of Christ in Tehachapi, California. We lived in Palmdale, so we'd get up early on Sunday mornings, pile the 5 of us into our 1950 Chevy coupe and head up thru Lancaster and Mojave, over the…
One day as I was turning into my driveway I saw Rita on her porch. She's a lot like me.

Al has Alzheimer's. Alcohol made it worse

We listen for years for words to explain ourselves. "I'm good but not THAT good," was such a moment for me. Good enough to stay in the game but never good enough to win.

I think you wrote and produced it well, James. It’s got a beat for line dancing😊
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.

Her real name isn't Luanne and she was so drunk when this all happened (tho she has a cd with this song on it) she has no idea it's about her.
Singing this song always makes me cry...

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.”

Amazes me how you are never afraid to stretch the boundries, always squeezing the very last drop of originality & possibility from your many facets of talent.
Busted out this tasty delight overnight with my good buddy Timmy D! Oh we had a good time. We worked on the instrumentation from 6 PM to 2 AM, woke up at 7AM and recorded vocals until Tim had to leave at 10AM. It was a great jam night.

fyi Robert Hayden thanks JMT I doubt that I will try to cover this one, but I appreciate your creative genius none the less. I do cover several cof your works when I play. To me that is the highest form of a compliment, to have one of your works covered by other musicians.

One night after three month of no rain, as we were driving home from singing at Gringos in Grapevine a splash of water hit the windshield.
I said to myself, "Sweet Rain."
I went home and wrote the song. It's on the soundtrack of a movie called…
INFATUATION, UNREQUITED
They say it's just infatuation
I only wish that it was true
Infatuation, unrequited
Feels like love to, for you
And then they say, 'Silence is golden,"
And I don't know what to do
The autumn leaves, the branched…

Nice little angelic voices there JM. Great lyrics!
Sentimental song with a light, fluffy flavour. I like that!
