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..

James Michael Taylor Roland Brown Thank you for listening and commenting, Roland. Especially, Room @ the end of the hall. You are the 1st to mention that one. I debated putting that one on the list. Like Reply3h Roland Brown James Michael Taylor That is , IMHO, a powerful mind journey. I was enthralled by it. Like

Roland Brown I sort of slowed down a bit weekend before last and listened to and enjoyed “My New Shorts”. On first listen I was particularly struck by Room at the End of the Hall (love that one!), Fireflies (thoughtful), Cattails and Butterflies, Broken Cookies and Day Old Bread, and Everyone I Need to Talk To. Well done!

Gerald Ray Lovely my friend

I really like this song. I don't remember it if have heard it. Maybe just now I understand it. Time presents new perspectives and lessons.

Naad Kaur Khalsa Well that was just gorgeous...beautiful poetry in its own right...all the way through, lovley lyric, lovley playing polished and easy tonkick bk to despite the ghostly disappearing act...which actually I quite enjoyed Like ReplyHide2h Active James Michael Taylor Naad Kaur Khalsa Thank you for listening and commenting...

Your whole vibe is so there...it just has me grinning from ear to ear ....so much of the American I love...from my uniquely un-American vantage point

Florencia Di Concilio It’s not the first time someone writes me a song, though it is the very first time I actually like it. I love the song, to tell you the truth! You’re awesome James Michael Taylor! You made my day. ❤️

Laurie Callinan - Its very beautiful. Love the line about the garbage trying to sleep.

Connie Pittman Ramsey Visually sorrowful and heartfelt.... Thank you James, once again, for going where most dare not go

First, the guitar sound is amazing. This friendly little project is is special in so many ways.

You asked me who Jack Hardy was...He was a friend of mine, now gone. Beloved by many. This was a bit of teasing him, imitating how he sang. He and I shared a mutual respect. The first time I met him I was sitting under an awning at the Kerrville Folk Festival and he pulled up a chair and said, "Sing me a song." We were buddies from then on. The day he would arrive at Kerrville was always joyfully anticipated, not just because he made such great spigot. Here is a link to more about him:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Hardy_(singer-songwriter)

That bass is awesome! Great build!

This is beautiful.

Wonderful, James. Thank you for singing the songs in your heart. This world needs them.Summer Loraine Russell

Mighty powerful feelings of aloneness and independence, songs and songwriting/singing a perfect fit! Keith Haas

This immediately puts me in a mythical meadow with fairies and crickets and lightning bugs at dusk...

This is such a solid track it could go a dozen ways. Also, thank you for your comment. I had a 7th line clear up until my final mix when I realized how useless it was...your response verifies my thot. The song was start to finish this afternoon.Thanks again.

"The years can kill your spirit. The years you can’t explain The years that simply melt away... like mascara in the rain." Damn... what great words. JMT words. Words that paint a picture... on the canvas of my spirit. ` Jon McCabe

Crisp and crystal clear!

Perfect for your voice. "aging Silverado..." "so, I don't say a word, my order is heard."

Love your voice on this. Like 50s American pop song.

So clean! Really rocks. Sounds like your first language is American English.

Great production! Is that all you playing everything?

So clean. Very interesting...I'm missing some of the words tho. What country are you from?

This really creates a world of it's own...

I like how you fit your voice and sentiment into this barren acoustic landscape.
