Lee Snaples James Michael Taylor played this last night at Hermann Sons to close out the night and left us all stunned. He told me he's never played this one in a jam before I told him...well it wasn't repeatable because we've all been missing a great song experience. Request it next time you see him.

WOW!! I love the rich musical textures and instrumentation in this song as well as the message. You create some of the most unusual songs I've heard to raise people's consciousness about the threats to our world, Jim.

I wrote this after I sang with a friend at his mother's funeral. He had always wondered why he looked nothing like his brothers... DOOR MAT Key - A A) My daddy treated Mama like a door mat D) Me and little brother didn't like that…

After years of consideration, I am now ready to announce: "Best JMT Album!" This is it... you are listening to it now... QUE PASO Sure, there are other albums which are deserving... but this album gets the distinction because it is one solid JMT song after another. This album has a very good selection of songs on the playlist, and it has very good sound and voice quality to the recordings. And of course... this album has some of the best JMT lyrics he ever wrote! For those of you who are asking, "Hey! Just who the hell are you to make such a declaration?!" My answer: Just ask Jimmy. Jimmy may not agree with my choice, but I believe he will confirm that he will damn sure consider my submission.

Robert Hayden Not fooled by mocking birds & I’m not fooled by hope. Best line I have heard in awhile. Also I’m thinking to use as a hook in a song “the last time I said goodbye.”

Robert Hayden Amazes me how you are never afraid to stretch the boundries, always squeezing the very last drop of originality & possibility from your many facets of talent.

Robert Hayden fyi Robert Hayden thanks JMT I doubt that I will try to cover this one, but I appreciate your creative genius none the less. I do cover several cof your works when I play. To me that is the highest form of a compliment, to have one of your works covered by other musicians.
