I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S GONE Key - G
She's been gone for three years now
Three years since she walked out
Friends and folks I work with
Ask me what it's all about
Tho I can't find an answer
As the days drag on and on
My heart is damn near…
I heard this one today and I think it's one of your more commercially viable songs, it sounds like a classic country song. This is another one I think you should consider playing more on a regular basis.

I think you wrote and produced it well, James. It’s got a beat for line dancing😊
If I may, I dedicate this song to a Republican Pres. Candidate.

Somewhere between the summer and the winter
The leaves between the tree tops and the fall
Somewhere between my heart and circled letters

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.

This is my first upload. I mostly have a vocal here. It's a song that I'd love to get some collaboration on from the guitarists in the community. Let me know what you think?

HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
To me, as a songwriter, I have come to the "conclusion" that what I might say to explain a song is functionally THE BRIDGE. Your explanation adds so much to the song maybe it's bridge time.
MONOLOGUE
I found a hole, it's in the wall
And reaching up, I crawled inside
And to the stars I gave a call
To grant a better place to hide
I cannot leave the hole I found
The chapel for my dark despair
I do not seek to hang around…
Very interesting commentary...
And, thank you for listening to my song.
I was at the stockade at Fort Ord in California and then sent to Leavenworth where I ended up at the prison farm running the egg factory.

Jan 17 2015 - Remixed. I was always kinda disappointed with what the original mix sounded like. Listening to it the other day I realised what it is - I'd mixed the vocals too loud. This reduced the "stereo" and killed off a lot of the life…
I have been wanting to do some Cream covers for awhile now and with the passing of Jack Bruce it seemed an appropriate time to record some sort of tribute to him and the band.
This is an instrumental song I composed roundabout 7 years ago. Finally we got around to recording it with real instruments, and the band is:
Frank Zax: Guitars
Andy Gupta: Bass
Mark R. Cole: Drums:
Steffen Offermann: Synthesizers, Music…

LIFE
The art of life, it lies between
Hanging on and letting go
I didn't ask to be alive
It's the best life that I know
So we are here, so let us be
Adding to the gripping tale
The universe can know itself
As we journey on our…
THE BEST I'VE FOUND
A ray of sun, an act of grace
A bit of song, a smiling face
Can lift me from dispair
And when I'm lost in yesterday
I find a kiss along the way
Will bring me here from there
A super moon, a darker blue
A purring…
Sweet song.
My song CODY'S SURPRISE is not a made up story.
I waited for a couple of years for Cody to write the song. He's a horse trainer singer/songwriter friend of mine living and working in California. Finally decided to write it for him. It was quite a trauma for him. His cowboy name is Cody Pendant.
Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
Good song....ever thought about slowing it down adding some bluesy pian
What a great song. I like how you strung together these everyday phrases. Theo
Love this, James. Gwen Harry said it well.
I'm the songwriting king of the jungle around these parts I know because Jeff Prince said, and he's the king of the arts...
Wanda Slusser-Mullens Love it. The lyrics are wonderful recipe for life.
Leslie Young I like it. But it’s sad.

Leslie Young Toe tapping!
Belinda Stephens I think you wrote and produced it well, James. It’s got a beat for line dancing😊 If I may, I dedicate this song to a Republican Pres. Candidate.
I like it! It has a catchy tune and a mysterious message. I'm curious as to how this song came to be.

Soooo pretty.
Like a sound trac to a slow roller coaster...
You are singing in the key of B. This is very cool.
Very cool.

Love your voice.
Such sweet harmony...

The more I listen to this the more I like it.
great beat
That's music to meditate by...
An instant favorite...
Coulda fooled me.
I worked Phantom many times (maybe 39 times)as a stagehand. This really takes me back...
Nice.
Love this. So much drama. Great contrasts.
Very interesting story. Your music catches the mystery of it.
Great quote. Who is that?
Thank you, Merry. I did as you requested. j mt
