How are you producing the percussion sounds? I dig the distance and echo of it. This is a fabulous production -- I'm listening for the third time as I type this.

A bit like Bob Dylan, a bit like Neil Young -- more Bob than Neil -- but the lyrics are really brilliant. Awesome performance. ROCK ON!

Writers Block , I think I just walked one! Ha terrific what a line

It's a gospel to me. You have a real good way with lyrics JMT, nice pickin' too

I really like this one too. Great for a clint eastwood movie around the time of good,bad & the ugly...great guitar work

I love that fuzzy fuzz.

Wow! what nice singing...brings to mind a favorite group of mine sounds I didn't expect in this song really take it someplace very interestin

Excellent

Psychedelic, rich in groovy colors and flavor! My kind of thing. I'm really glad you went there. Alert me if you have anything else like this one in your collection. FAR OUT!

nice theme fer a soundtrack... c):~)

I sure dig the flavor of this one! The chords, scale, melody, vocals, effects -- it all suits my fancy but for the brevity. I could of used at least another 3 minutes of this.

You are particularly talented at lyrics -- brilliant!

Classical folk at its best. Wonderful songwriting, James!

heh-heh, pretty cool, short, sweet and to tha point... c):~)

Yeah. Way harder to keep "in tune". ;)

You got me laughing this morning!

I was laughing before I got to the song. Why do I always name my guitars with girls names? That's it, my next guitar is Butch. Period. :)

Very cool

Short and sweet! I love it!!!!

:D Rock on, James!

"Fireflies." has a stellar intro, and then you woot he listener in with your crooning and compelling vocals. I have always loved the topic of fireflies and your hook about chsing fireflies in the htickets of two hearts is Phenomenal. Lots of nostalgia in this one, especiually for the girl next door who played a game with me, a kiss for every firefly i caught for her. But man those bugs were elusive as hell. But when I got a few, I was enthralled by her gentle thank you on my lips. Matthew Blowers III

Now "Skinny Girls.' is a riotus collection of just plain fun and some great humor, I was so dissappointed when the track just cut out. But then I unbderstood you were giving folks just a taste. I was actually starting to visualize all the descriptive bean pole girls you were listing. A great bar song for sure, and I can see all the slightly inebriated guys rethinking and checking out all the skinny girls nursing their beers. LOL Matthew Blowers III

Matthew F. Blowers III I am really liking your song on California, I have a special love for that state. You captured all the reaons I miss it, with your superb storytelling in lyrics and with the smooth harmonies and extremely well played music. It has a catchy beat, and I listened to the very last note.

Very catchy! Too short, maybe. Gotta listen twice.

So today, for some reason I decided to read the words first.. Just the words. And found it an absolutely beautiful experience. The metaphors you use to describe great and cosmic plans and intentions of great societal achievement, contrasted with the lines that begin with, "BUT I dreamed we met for breakfast".... (the switch and the contrast is very powerful) what a tiny, common human thing: meeting over the sharing of food,. Then followed by, "I dreamed I held your hand"... human touch/connection, as though those two simple things are worth more than all the highest achievements of worldly fame, and material ladders climbed! Which they are. They so are. The rest of the lyrics continue to develop & express that idea beautifully. Then I listened to the sing, and although it is good as a song, For me, the words in themselves stand strong and impactful w/o anything else. Not to contrast them and say one is "better" than the other. Just that sometimes I see lyrics that stand alone, And just saying, these words do that very well. Gwyn Henry

This is cool. It gives me ideas.

WoW! Knocks me out. Really sizzles.

Makes me want to find a partner and do a little dance...very nice.

You had me at, "If I back off and shut my mouth..." Know exactly where you are. So afraid the answer is, "No."

Sounds like a 50s Buddy Holly era song. Very sweet sentiment. And, yes, I can dance to it.

Great characterization. Great kick drum sound.

WoW! Rock me, dude! Love the imagery.

Kim Triolo Feil James Michael Taylor that's a fantastic story and a very lovely song

Yes! A MONKEES song, for sure.

Interesting sounds. Cool chord shifts.

Aaah, if Love could only be forgotten... Nice.

Like it.

Very nice...

California has a chorus that camouflages the dramatic irony of the verse narrative. If it weren’t for the unusual intro, it’d seem zirconium. Christopher Youngblood

Circle of No Regrets sounds quaint. That’s what makes it hit. Unless you turn your ears on, it’s a boring song, but once you do, it’s hard to take. It’s almost like you’re giving the audience an option. Christopher Youngblood
