This was my dad's favorite song of mine about thirty years ago. Maybe it was because he just liked to hear me sing s positive song for a change.

as they pertain to plot,
are my exact memory of the event.
I had spoken to the kid maybe a minute before the "action" started about how the pressure of the water was very strong. He was nestled down with his back…

WRITER’S BLOCK
I went out to the stockyards last night. I don’t get out much but I had an invite.
My buddy, Guthrie Kennard was playing.
The place was full. The band was tight. Whitney Raquel opened the night
And the kids from the 2500 Club…

I don't know what you typically listen too, but the Flaming Lips album "The Terror" was written by Wayne Coyne after his significant other of twenty-five years left him. Amazing the good that the bad can drag out of artists.

JOHNNY BROKE AN AXLE 110220

Johnny broke an axle
Broke it like a pencil
Oh, no.

I found this Tangelwood guitar locally in a repair barn
its a parlor with 12 frets to the body
the top wood is cedar, this guitar can sing
I am sharing its beauty with you for free
A little celestial inspiration for this song.... I started it and Greg and Mark helped me finish it and then record around my kitchen table. Feel free to howl if you like it!

I MISTOOK IT FOR THE MOON Capo @ 2 Key D (Play in C positions)
I was coasting across West Texas/Had my top down, it was late at night
I caught a coyote…
I love the"Mistook Moon" song! Like one of your fans commented, it's both a story and magical! Definitely a sense of the magical. I relate to the voice of the song... my vision is so wonky these days, when I am riding w/ Greg or Shanna (my red-heaired daughter) I have had a couple of screaming scares (terrifying my driver) thinking an odd play of light and shadow was another car we were about to hit full speed! So I can understand, mistaking a train for the moon. Only for me it would have been reversed: I would have screamed and duckedin terror from the moon! Gwyn Henry

So I got me a new geetar the other week.
Named her Lala, obviously. Seemed kind of appropriate - she wears a faded gold dress and is full of chunes and mischiefs.
This is our first effort together. It was meant…
CEDRICK Key G Open G tuning (GGDGBD)
He gave me 2 rings. Silver with turquoise insets. That was 1974. We were moving from Oregon to Texas in an old Dodge school bus. Towing the Chevy Van behind it. Unhitched the van when we stopped in Albuquerque…

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
I like it, Jim. :) A nice positive message. I love the tune and your musical setting for it, too.
Wow... Stirring, moving... Just wow.
cool - very unique piece of music.
What a beauty of a song.........
Love it.

Forgot to change the lyric to "I know that Layla will somebody by mine"
Nice one like it
Hi, MJM I'm enjoying your songs today and I especially like this one. All the best, Jenni Peal
Oh, this is soooo beautiful, with lovely guitar work.....
Very Pretty. I think you have one of those "soft centers" that you always hear about the tough talkers showing occasionally.
Aww - gorgeous song and delivery.
I love 70s AM radio! Digging it.
Great song mate
Great harmony, wonderful song
Nice one
another great one!

Nice mix of acoustic guitar with synthesizer. Great voice
I had to play this one again. Beautiful!
Comments made by James Michael Taylor
Nice electric guitar work on Every one I need to talk to. My favorite so far. Same with But The Sun. The lyrics and the melody. Nuno
I remember Johnny Broke An Axel. Loved it then. Love it now. Nuno
Honk: Nice little rocking riff. Sleepy Head: Nice lullabye. Nuno
The 4 shorts Dying's Not Easy, Miss Her, Broccoli and Kite. Like snapshots from and old camera turned to music. Nuno
All in all, a very good album. The melodies and harmonies blending together with the moody acoustic ad electric guitar. A very visual album. Nuno
Nuno Santos Going through an album of old dusty snapshots...
How can something be so beautiful, yet so fleeting?
Sweet...
So mournful. Well done. The tides are tugging on the threads of my sleep..." great image.
Love is a bitch.
Been there! So sorry. We are so foolish.
Soooo sad.
Just "WoW!"

WoW! Rock on! Great crisp guitar. You must come over some time and make one of my guitars sound like that.resting break...huge.
This is fun...
No bs Lyle Lovette? It’s got a cool groove. Kind of reminds me of Ray Wylie or James McMurtry style. Dana Deathridge
