PRETTY GIRL
Pretty girl, pretty dress
Well, I must confess my heart is in a mess
Pretty girl
Some guys can walk up to a girl
Say, "Hey! I love you
They make it look like something
So easy to do
Pretty girl, pretty dress

HURRY
I'm not in a hurry
I've got all day to get there
You don't have to worry
I learned my lesson out there
I spent all night in Utah
As I make Green River
The chains banged on the exhaust
Til she began to quiver
Asphyxiation creates…
Jesus is my buddy
Jesus is my pal
I hold hands with Jesus
when I walk a troubled mile
He never will desert me
no matter what I do
So, won’t you come to Jesus
he’ll be your buddy too…

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.

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 doubled all the lines to help me and a friend learn the song.
There is a shortened version on down the page if you don't want to have to hear every line repeated.

RONDA'S THEME
Ronda. Ronda.
In her faded blue jeans
with her guitar she sings
It's just one of the things
about Ronda.
Ronda was a little girl
Just like you
Once upon a time
But now, but now
She's RONDA

My friend, George Sluizer was making a film DARK BLOOD with River Phoenix and asked me to submit some music to possibly be used in the movie. He didn’t end up using this but he did use four other of my submissions.

Great guitar sound. Nice mixture of keys and guitar. Nice when the low keys come in. I like the way you change the pace at points. Very the tempo.
Echos of some of my favorite Chopin passages. Just a lovely winding trail. Close my eyes and just drift along. Wonderful combining of guitar and keys...I'm repeating myself. Great change/refresh at 5:30.
Baby can you here the thunder tonite?
Baby can you here the rain coming down, down?

An instrumental based on the Arabian-major scale, which I got from Mike Chlasciak's "Exotic Blood" column in the Holiday 2013 issue of Guitar World magazine. Hope you like it.

This is one of the many songs going round my head from when I was young. No idea whose version I heard and used to sing along to back then, but it was written by Larry Collins and Alex Harvey.
(EDIT: Done some research. It was Dottie West's…
Nice version of a great old song...
Alex Harvey is regarded as the writer around here. Saw him at the Rubaiyat in Dallas back in 1975. More recently , at the Blue Bird in Nashville. He just came in unannounced with his buddies and sort of took over the place. Tanya Tucker was 13 when she recorded this song and it was what made her famous until she got too into her Elvis thing. Then Married Glen Campbell and that went real bad.
Found this old track while backing up my hard drive. It is an alternate tracked played at a slower tempo. I added a quick drum track and ruff remix this morning.
What a funky track. Love it. Really summons Hendrix...
Oh, and while I'm here, what did you mean by, "Nice response to what Adelson is calling for," on FORESTS OF IRAN?

They discovered a planet that has no star
Maybe they'll let me name it whoever they are
I know all about a planet without a star
Oh, please let me name it.
I know all about it.
A planet. No orbit. Just lost out in space
No hope or habit…

Perpetual motion of things that will not stop even when we're no longer here. Strange feeling.

Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
cool stuff! You always have the best lyrics!!!
Interesting bridge. I didn't expect that. You know how to keep the listener's attention.
The music expresses your pain better than any words alone could. I feel your hurt now. Damn, man -- ouch!
I just read the lyrics, and I'm commenting before I hear the music to say, wow, you really have a gift with words.
Like it
I like this...sounds like 'america'. very mellow, chilling guitars. top class voice.
Wow!!! This song really just hit me. So poignant. It makes my heart just ache. Amazing song. Thanks !!!
Very unique! Nice harmonies and unusual presentationv. Thanks for your comment on my song. Paul
Buddy Holly meets Bobby Fuller 4 meets Doug Sham ...Really like this one
Fantastic guitar ...ry cooder got nothing on you my friend...imagine me getting choked up over a couch? yr there
Aww love it to bits. The lyrics and their delivery are superb. I'm liking the wandering between major and minor in the chords.
Great mix love it
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

I really like this. Wish you would mix the voice up in the mix. Really engaging groove. Great blend of sounds.
Love it. Immaculate.
I hear this with a cool bass line and choir. Maybe I download it and show you what I mean.

Sweet. "We'll go on and on..." Like that...
Reading your preface and then listening to this piece has me much more aware of my breathing. Slow and deep. Grateful for health.
Cool song and some very impressive moves.
Love the laughter. The funky rawness.
Listening again. This really touches something, with the obvious undertones of the dark side of the moon...
That sound was me clicking my finger nail on one of my guitar strings with added reverb.
...the dark side of Venus.
I'd like to see video with this...
This suggests to me that the universe is a big merry-go-round...
Regarding THE BOOK: You nailed it. Siddhartha, indeed.
Cool song.
Very cool meter and combination of sounds.
What a universal little scene. Well told. Every little boy has to deal with that uncertainty. Will she? Sad it never changes for so many of us.
Pensive, maybe. But not dirgy. Just a little more voice in the mix please.
