Whether what he said was true or not, it was cruel, insensitive slap and a prime example of "truth" best left unspoken. And then there is the great song that you wish you hadn't had to write.

THE WALK
I drove 400 miles that night
East of Dallas to Abilene
And the hopes that I held in my headlights
Were hopes like I'd never seen
She called me from work that afternoon
She said she'd be off about 2 AM
Said it would be nice…
Refuge into the imagination:
Is it crazy?
Is it survival?
Is desire to survive crazy?

Thanks for taking time to listen and comment, I'm sure you know how nice it is to get any kind of feed back. Once I got two comments on a song in one week, a song called THERE SHE WAS. A long story song. 6 minutes. Never dreamed I could actually commit it to memory, but I was so motivated by the feedback, I DID learn it and I've been singing it ever since. So, thanks, again.

I love that you let the quirky idea it's based on never take over your personal/conversational idea, yet you keep that quirky idea alive the entire song. You have a knack for writing very descriptive songs with twists like that.

Gramma's Shampoo
Gramma's shampoo is washing my hair
And I hope it will notice that gramma's not there
It's the kind that knows just what to do
Says it right there on the bottle, shampoo

Regarding that hair, I seem to recall a song where you're washing your hair with Mother's shampoo!
Tim Tandy
I stand corrected, it's Gramma. Great song!

BOOTS
When I was a kid, I was gonna have a pair of cow boy boots some day
We were poor as dirt but I wasn't going to stay that way
And, my teacher at school, he said that I could
And I promised him, some day that I would
When I was a kid…
THE CHILD WITH THE BEAUTIFUL NAME

to Grandma's in the Spring
I'd hop out of the car, run to the back yard.

I’ll tell you the truth. I’ve been out of control

The line....you feel warm when you're freezing to death.... I was so afraid this was going to happen to my Dad the first night. He thought he could tuff it out. Ended up in his car for warmth. He finally realized the severity and went to my brother's. He didn't want to leave his house

Just stay within the limits of your love

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
Jeff Prince At least you squeezed a good song out of the gut punch.
Ashley VanArsdel I know the feeling. It's almost like people think it's funny or something. I'm sorry.
Shawnee Smith Ray What a hateful, miserable person that big mouth is
Lee Snaples That sounds like somebody who has their own issues.

Wonderful tune.
Daniel Boling Such a heartbreaking and beautiful song. [FWIW, there's a fair bit of discrepancy between this recording and the accompanying text.]
Comments made by James Michael Taylor
Gwyn Henry Again...poetry!! Love this. Can relate to the discoveries under the couch!!
Such great beats. You remind me that I need to focus more on my rhythm tracks.
I was reading what you wrote about how you approach producing a song at Forum. Had to hear how it all came out. I see/hear! Really cool.
Pake Rossi James Michael Taylor this is one of my favorite of your songs!
That's a very complex silence, there! What must some rock and roll sound like in this place?
Nice idea...
You had me at, "Broken Windows." Love this. So, Family-Out-On-The-Porch.
Love the guitar sound. The song and the singing reminds me of one of my favorite songs from 1964 by The Seekers, I'll NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU.
Great guitar presence. What were you playing?
Is this about a real place in your life. Very nice (You can answer by putting a message on any of my songs.) Thank you for listening to my songs and commenting.
So many elements! Great dynamic shifts. You swing. You rock.
So bold and moody. Thank you for listening to my songs.
Carolyn Wade 60 Years later?? This is a good song. Love the lyrics, the music fits the words.

April Nicholle Bond Wonderful and moving! Thank you.
Very compelling, and I think the unusual/quirky arrangement complements the story. Tim Tandy
Connie Pittman Ramsey wow! whoa! like i said in the comments on alonetone ... 'its' not a bad movie ... just a bad scene ... is a kicker!! thanks!!
Very "cool."
Really clean!
Great idea. Killer production.
