Lazarus Knight That's a really good song. It resonates with truth.

Tim Tandy Brilliantly haunting! Like a character in a Hank Williams song, you're telling a poignant, sad story, but NOT seeking pity.

"Wow, beautiful." Ken McIntyre

I like that a lot. Its a fresh perspective. Lazareth Knight

Gwyn -Verrrrry nice! PS: I listened to the "shorts" you sent me while sitting in the car waiting for Greg to pick up some groceries. I think you have invented a new artform with these shorts: Haiku Songs! I really loved them. I laughed a lot, and that's a compliment!

Laurie Callinan ...beautiful heartbreaking song.

Gwyn Henry - 😊 be-yoo-ti-full!!

Wow! I sampled all the songs, it’s a great album and I will listen to it more tomorrow. Thank you! Ken Mcintyre

So sweet.. and I relate sooo well. I only had three, but birthing them in 4 yrs, they seemed double that in number at times. And we were a share the bed family too. I played my guitar and sang for them to put them to sleep. I still have memories of the peace that held for me, and I think for them. Gwyn Henry

Seems ea song I hear of yours for the first time is my new favorite song of yours! Gwyn Henry

For years, now... I am quite familiar with Jimmy's body of work. I have labeled many of his songs as "masterpieces." This morning... I realized this JMT song transcends the term "masterpiece." Is it Jimmy's "Somewhere" or is it his "You"? No, it is "simply" a great example of Great Americana Art. Just think of how many aspiring songwriters (such as myself) would gladly go down to the crossroads and talk with Beelzebub... just for a chance to be able to claim they wrote... and then produced... such a song. Bravo, Maestro! Bravo!

The 1st time I sang this song in public was at a Nashville Songwriters Association meeting, Fort Worth chapter, and a woman burst out when it hit her. I can hardly sing this song without crying. I really know how to push my buttons. "...ha! Push your own buttons… I know hat you mean. I listened to the song again to refresh my memory…omg it is so pretty! And yes! I remember well, I did get it that the watermelon man was his father. In fact it brought to my mind another disappearing father, that of my daughter Lisa. He passed several yrs ago. So too late for him now. But your song has beauty and meaning for a lot of folks, I am sure." Gwyn Henry

I can't seem to get it to download or play dude.

LOVE THIS!! Just listened. I'll bet Dale would love it too, He passed in 2019, I just read in wiki, at the age of 85. Your comparison to his doctore may have been apt: He beat colon cancer twice and lived on another eleven years. And he left us his amazing music! - Gwyn Henry

I love this! What a beautiful piece.

Tim Tandy James Michael Taylor , have loved this song from the first time I heard it. Like so many of your compositions, it's refreshingly straightforward, simple and playful- characteristics all too rare in many relationships.

One of my favorites of yours of all I've heard, Jim. Melody is so pretty and chord changes unusual. Guitar intro, so pretty, as is the whole song. Sweet story, and sweet song. I can relate to the adult child who wonders at her/his mother's girlhood love.

I worked with Rosemarie when it was first published. She gave me a copy of the sheet music. I’ve had all these years. So happy I did.

Marcie Brooks James Michael Taylor another profound poem/song.

Thought provoking and full with our human fraility.. The presentation was moving.

Welcome to Alonetone. jmt

This one too. I thot it was the continuation of SEE MOLLY PLAY.'

Someone should do an animation to go with this...it is very evocative. So bright and airy.

Well said.

Yeah, it's about staying sane and trying to live forever but I repeat myself.

Touching.

Really a grabber. Like it!

Very pensive. A sad urgency.

I've been listening to your songs for several hours. The way you do them is very restful. Nice voices and very peaceful sounds.

"Looking in her eyes is like looking in a mirror..." cool line.

I like this every time I listen to it and I listen to it about once a week.

I can see myself walking down a dirt road just enjoying the wildflowers and dodging grasshoppers as I hum this one to myself.

I'd like to see the video to this one.

Cool. You got me to singing along.

Really like the bass sound. The phasie feel.

Wizard...like your description of the song CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT. I wouldn't tell that to the lady that sang it but I find it charming and your comment apt.

Immediately drawn by the vocal sound on this. So full and resonant. Still can understand the lyric. Like the first person thing you do.

You've got your machinery working well. Like your version of this old song.

Your mics are doing what they need to do: clear vocal and all words understandable. Good clean rendering of your song. I like your voice and your song. Heart science isn't rocket science.

Gotta be some Dylan in your background. Reminds me of some of the songs on his John Wesley Hardin album. Thanks for your comment on I WONDER. I have redone it since you listened to it. I have to post things and listen to them to find out what I need to do the finish them. j mt
