Any chance you played in a bar in El Paso August 1978? That’s where I heard “I live with Rebecca.” Bought an album there with this song, actually because of this song. Peace - Phil Estes

Robert White Beautiful Song James Michael Taylor! Thanks for sharing! 🤗

Kat Angel James Michael Taylor Delightful!

Kat Angel Good wake up song. I can see the teacher playing this song for the kids at the start of their school day and they all sing along.

Cathy Maxwell · 1:51 that's a great HAPPY song!!!

Marcie Brooks Oh, I LOVE this! The fact that your camera placement, while swaying and playing, made me feel like I was actually swinging to the song. GENIUS!

Laurie Callinan James Michael Taylor thats great… we are alone till we share

What a poignant song, Jim! It captures so well the joy many of us had in simple pleasures like swinging--and how our grandchildren are lured at very early ages to the artificial razz-ma-tazz of cell phone games. I remember what joy my youngest son had, swinging on the tire swing we hung up in one of our backyard trees so many years ago. He'd spend hours, climbing onto the nearby picnic table (seated on the tire), jumping off, and letting the tire sway and spin. I feel sad that my grandson didn't get that kind of kinesthetic experience and all the pleasure it could bring.

Brent Woods Oh it brought back memories of a swing when I visited my Grandmother ! Bitter Sweet Memories of times gone by.! Thanks for bringing that back to me !

Allen Hurt I love it my friend, very well thought out and i love the way you pick throught it. Keep up the great buddy

Kat Angel Heartfelt, you told the story so well...I was there

Brent Woods This one got Me ! I'm humming it now ! Man oh Man . . . Greatness !

Brent Woods James Michael Taylor my Friends. One of the Greats and I'm proud to say . . . Friend !

Yes. The listener knows from the beginning that she is gone, but the sadness becomes haunting when the harmony was t his ear. Enter You sent I see. Enter You sent My sadness begins when I sing, "She's been gone for three years..."

When does THERE SHE WAS begin to engage the listener and what about it makes the listener sad? Enter Lazarus Lazarus Knight To me, iy was when he heard her harmony in his ear.

Made me cry. - Laz

"Damn. advise from a murderer." Steve Theskin

Greg West My favorite JMT song.

Please send me a link or the lyrics to the song about "there she was". That is a masterpiece! - Lazarus

Tony Desmuke Thanks for writing such a great song and sharing it.

Great groove. Like the voices... .../the little reference to Good Vibrations.

This and djorklandia sound like movie music to me. Grand landscapes and epic travel shots.

Very cool song. Love the guitar sound.

That's a very cool song. Also, I want to say, "Thanks," for visiting my music. I used to play the Basement Coffee House back when Lyle was running the show. Married the girl behind the concessions counter.

Well, you are choosing your samples/sounds well. I really like what it all adds up to.

Too sad for words...

Breezy groove. Very nice.

This is beautiful. Is that a harp?

Love the blending of diverse elements.

Well, Dare I hope to do as well. But I'm sure going to do some experimenting.

That's the best synthesized strings I've ever heard that I know of. What are you doing them with?

Very mournful. Is that real violins? (pyropool@earthlink.net)

I can hear Marty Robbins singing this. Such a suggestion of sadness.

...a time a place and a girl. Nice song. Cool imagery...."snow has hushed the sound..." And the graveyard reference.

Like vocals.

Very good! ...and well done.

Such desolation...

For some reason, unbeknownst to me, I can not get this or the above songs to play.

I like this a lot. But on my player the background voices overwhelm your words. Want to hear the words. Want to hear the words.

Actually, it's more like Toy Matinee. Kevin Gilbert was one of my favorites.
