These are like little audio poems which create a rich visual idea in my head when I hear them.

These are great songs.

As I wrote the verses, Lisa would guide me by saying, "No, that one is another song, a song about the depletion of the hickory forest." Like that. When we finished the 4th verse Lisa declared it done and we danced around and hugged each other...but later, I said, "Nothing has happened. We have just set the scene. So I wrote the next verse...and we danced and hugged each other again. On the last verse I was stumped for a meaningful rhyme with "trucks" and she came up with "deluxe." Then I said, "We really need a refrain/chorus. The next morning Lisa sang me three notes. Said that was the chorus. Instead of humming or "oooing" the notes I did the "aaaooo" and we knew that was right, so, we danced again and hugged each other. (Maybe not.)

Beautiful song. Theo Carracino

Belinda Stephens James, your song breaks my heart.

Paul Smith Fun song. There seems to be at least 5 comments on Alonetone. Some from way back too. Smith Yes. I just saw that. Don't know why I didn't see them earlier...

Loved it. I used to ride my Suzuki 750 up the Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Barbara to Big Sur/Monterey so this song brought back memories. We road all over the central coast. Once we rode out to the site of James Dean's fatal accident. Thanks for posting.

Jim and I both loved listening to this beautiful song. Besides enjoying the tight harmony we identified with your mother's words - our mothers also used to say "...some day you will understand."

Naad Kaur Khalsa James Michael Taylor yup super cool Like

Cool song. Karen Mason

Leslie Young James Michael Taylor I like that a lot.

Tony Desmuke I just listened to the title cut. All I can say is WOW. You have an exceptional way with words. The music was really nice too. Loved the banjo in the last verse.

Leslie Young James Michael Taylor That is very pretty but sad.

Deanie Hamilton Berry That was beautiful James, and the harmony was a very nice touch.

I'm going to bug you for chords on this one.

This one is different from you usual. As we've discussed, most of your songs focus on personal experiences. This starts out as a western song and then becomes personal, I'm going to have to get the back story.

Maia Simonia You woke up my old memories… Thank you James

Maia...not really… but partly..

"I listened to that song and loved it." Scott Grace

Sounds like the day after all the snow began to melt and the sun came out and it all evaporated, the mist blocking the sun...the light dancing in the chemistry of the x-snowflakes...

Very nice. Vibrant vocal and the blend of guitar and banjo is very sunny. Has me wanting to sing along in harmony. Great guitar sound on the break. Here comes the harmony...love it. Sorry about the load up. I've got 40 CDs and I'm trying to get them all uploaded so when people want to hear a song they will all be available.

Snowflakes...this sounds like musical snowflakes falling on piano keys...

Cool...such a gentle jibe.

This is a very evocative trac. I'd love to see some video or stills synced with this as a video.

Captures the craziness induced by being dumped. Been there. Am there.

I named one of my daughters Silky. This is a beautiful version of the song. I'm sitting here playing along on my guitar. Capo at 3rd fret in G positions.

Beautiful. So evocative.

Pensive. Haunting.

Nice song. Good clean guitar. Like the keyboard. Easy vocal.

Cool song.

Nice pickin'. Cool song

So beautiful.

Has me singing along.

Really has that Woody feeling.

"When you get to a certain age"...don't I know that's true!

Refreshing.

Compelling...

Makes me want to dance...and I can't dance. Real country swing feel. Love the steel guitar. Makes me think about taking steel guitar lessons.

Nice groove. Any rider can dig it from the first groan of that scooter.
