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.

Marcie Brooks Lovingly sad yet hauntingly beautiful

Jere Reiser I can't imagine. I spent 3 days in the Federal prison in Brownsville for attempting to smuggle 100 biphetamines into the US. They made me shower by myself and when I stepped out there were 8 guys standing about 10 ft away observing and making comments. It went down hill from there. I was threatened and hassled for two nights but stayed awake as advised and was discharged without incident. Childsplay.

Marcie Brooks Whew! What a powerful song. Thank you for sharing James. Love you man

Lazarus Knight That will always be my favorite. No doubt the history plays a part.

Tim Tandy Wow, it's still as powerful as the very first time I met you and heard it, at a Concert in the Attic, sitting next to Barbara, who was silently mouthing occasional lyrics with tears on her cheeks.

very cool. I like the production. Ed Rogers

Jimmy, this whole album is the work of genius. Thank, you.

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.

Sounds like Las Angeles to me. Steely Dan. Clean.

Sounds like a trip across Arizona to me. On a Harley. Love of your life on the buddy seat. Arms around you. Wind blowing. Hair flying. Center line markers clicking by. Lost in the motion.
