Annie & Allan
Annie and Allan were having a problem
Made a decision to go their own ways
Annie and Allan made an announcement
Not even knowing how it saddened…
DEAR PEGGY
Dear Peggy,I thot you'd like to know
That blue tile in our bathroom you said would have to go
I replaced with the slate that we bought at Home Depot
mmmmm mmmmm
Dear Peggy, The heat has killed the lawn
And water is so expensive…
damn, old son... sometimes hearing you sing is like bumping a half healed wound and ripping the scab off... and it hurts, it hurts bad. You know, it's like I knew her... I never met Peg, but sometimes when you sing/cry your words, I want to cry... because... somewhere inside I feel like... I miss her... I really do, I feel like I miss her... and it hurts... it hurts bad. Peace Old friend, Peace JQM
My favorite song by Jane Bowers
She was still alive back when I 1st learned
this song from the Kingston Trio.
I didn't know, back then, that I could have met her.
WHEN I WAS YOUNG by Jane Bowers
When I was young and dreams were new…
Damn, Jimmy... funny how after almost 40 years of listening to JMT music, hearing a new song of yours can still make me cry. Good song, old friend, good song. JQM
KAWEAH (says the crow)
"Kaweah, Kaweah"
There's a place on up the hill
Redwood trees are standing still
The murmur of the river will invite you
Lay your head down on a rock
You'll forget about the clock
The whisper of the sun will…
Well, I was up on the ladder cleaning the leaves out of the gutters and this song came to me. What could I do? I climbed down and wrote this song.

They sent me a letter. A ticket to ride
Portland to Frisco on that Big Overnight
Brand new clothes. New pants and new shirt
Brand new boots to kick…

My heart knows how much I miss you
G C
So, it brings you back in my dreams
We were together last night…
It seems our hunger to express awe is channeled
into petty things early in our life and when we break free we feel robbed because all the mighty expressions are tied up in silly stories about some jealous being making contradictory demands…

WHEN LAYLA COMES OVER
When Layla comes over everything stops
When Layla comes over I put on my socks
I put on my shoes. I put on my shirt.
When Layla comes over…
Just thinking about Happiness. Thinking about how she said she was leaving because she wanted to be happy.
HAPPY Key - C walking down...
Happy is the anvil as the hammer strikes the blade
A fleeting spark that fades as the memory is made…
Well, it's like I went down town last night to see Guthrie playing with Ray and I came home with a song.
NOBODY KNOW ME IN TOWN ANY MORE Capo @ 1 in G
There’s a bird in the gutter that’s so sound asleep
He can’t hear the music that’s sweeping…
One day I was up on my ladder, cleaning the leaves out of the gutters when I realized why I was there, doing that.
YOUR VOICE
I hear your voice and I go get my ladder
I pull on my gloves. I climb up to the gutters
When the leaves gather…

To anyone wandering around the JMT collection: If you have not listened to this album, you should! It is a great collection of great work. (suggested by JQM)
It's so dark
she can't sleep
She needs more
ice in her water
She lost her smile
It went to Nashville
So she sent
me her address
I didn't know
if I should answer
or go to her
I could call a taxi
Too much wine
Too much coffee
Too…

I wrote this song while out hiking some awesome trails in Zion National Park... gave me some excellent inspiration. I also tried some different stuff with the mixing and using my keyboard... so trying to push a few of my envelopes...

Colleen, That goodbye song is just the final song on my new album I did for the RPM Challenge...an online thing where people try to do a whole album between the beginning and end of February.

A quick song I made up out of nowhere, hence the title "Somewhere out there" LOL... Everything you hear is me apart from the drums, as usual. I hope you enjoy my bedroom recording... Warm regards, Anna
I got touched by an article I read about an Irish chap that saw a girl on a plane he fell in love with at first sight (ha, I never knew that existed !!!) He could not forget about her, so decided to do a “Sherlock Holmes” and was determent to…

Cool. I remember it well.
James Michael it struck a chord with me. Thank you. Peg
Like the lyrics very much.
I love this.
You are always young
Really Nice Brother:-)
Wonderful!
On the nail with the lyrics and great guitar tone. Nice harp work.
Right on song, brother.
I ended up really enjoying this song! Nice inventive mixing as well.
How beautiful this is! It isn't easy to describe happiness in a way that rings true.. but these lyrics DO in an unforgettable way.
Great song! I feel that way sometimes living in Denton. Faces are always changing in college towns.
What a beautiful, contemplative song! For me, it evokes memories of my mom.
This is one of my favorite songs and you give it dignity and power, like you do. Thanks

Comments made by James Michael Taylor
I like what you do.
Digging it! Rock on. I would be adding a chant with this with cool harmonies...
What program are you using.
It aint like no ones done this before But how can you tire of beautiful chords That really says it.
Takes me back to the late 60s.
Right up there with YOU GOT ME.
What Gene said. Major production.

So lush. That 1968 vibe again. Is this several people or are you doing it all?
Welcome to our little family. What a big full sound! Very nice blend. Very interesting combination of sounds. It's very 1968.
ASK CODY! It's what he told me. We report. You decide.
intriguing story deserves further developement
That ELO comment was supposed to go here.
ELO all over the place.
Love the blend of voices. Very Beatlesque.
...and tell us more about yourself in the profile.
Please include the words. I want to hear every word. Beautiful.
Love the naked voices...harmony.
Beautiful...there are places the voice and instruments merge.
That's cool. Lots of layers. 3D.
