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.

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!
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

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.
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.

Probably anyone who plays the guitar could write this song....
Someone asked if I was actually in Spain in 2003. Actually, 2000. Working on the movie, THE STONE RAFT with George Sluizer, from a book by Jose Saramago.
Inspired by something Jenni…
These lyrics are brilliant! Great vocal delivery, making the lyrics real. Good music and an excellent mix down and mastering job. Liking the tone of the lead picking.
Tracy posted a message which said, "If I could write a song about the way I feel right now, it would be a hit." So I grabbed my guitar and came up with this...
Randy Brown and I did a little co-write this evening and this is what we came up with...
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…

We've all met them! Haha. Got a bit of a rocky head on doing this.
"I ain't gonna love her like I said I would, coz my friends were all quite right - she's no good."
A little ditty about a company wanting to build a waste wood incinerator near me.

In splendid honour of her majesty queen elizabeth 2nd, celebrating 60 years of being the queen of england and the commonwealth nations. God bless ya maam.
According to John this lyric was inspired by the weird visions of a former sports reporter who now thinks the people in high political places are actually lizard men from space. :D

Lyrics:
Searching for something
I wonder and roam
Hoping the truth
Soon will be shown…
I have a song in the movie THE VANISHING. That movie starred Jeff Bridges and Keefer Southerland. I did all the music in a movie called RED DESERT PENITENTIARY. A film maker in Austin is finishing a short movie with about nine of my songs in it. Another Dallas film makes used me as an actor in a film recently and used a piece of mine as the theme song for that actor. It all adds up...to....something. Except for the Vanishing and Dark Blood there is no money.

Oh, that! I was nominated for Best Texas Music when my music isn't about Texas at all. It's all silly. It's all about the young musicians in town. They have a big blow out at the awards shin dig and everybody has fun but nobody takes it seriously about who is really the best in town.
That movie is called DARK BLOOD, finally to be finished by the director, George Sluizer. The movie was started in 1993 and production ceased when River Phoenix died of an overdose. Now it is being finished with narration filling in the unshot scenes. I suspect it will get a lot of attention because if it being River's last film and the circumstances.

I don't have too many old songs left to upload, so I'm digging into "B" side territory. This is an old song I wrote while at uni, lyrics are pretty naive, but so was i back then.
IMO John sounds like David Essex. :)

It's fun to buy a new toy once in a while. This is the first attempt at using my new Line 6 POD Guitar Effects.
Lyrics:
Here you come, my sweet baby
Don’t know why you drive me crazy
I’m crazy, in love with you
And it’s been a long long…
About someone (who may or may not be myself) who may have smoked a little too much of a particular herb in the past.
As I sit here alone
With my hand on the bong
And I light another match
And I pull another cone
I don’t know where I will…
About someone (who may or may not be myself) who may have smoked a little too much of a particular herb in the past.

I thought so little of this song at first I filed it away in a folder on my hard disk called "nogood". About a year later I listened to it again and changed my mind.

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!
This is superb. Even the girl in this house laughed.
I dig this, and relate -- each of my guitars are convinced I love them more than the others.
These lyrics are brilliant! Great vocal delivery, making the lyrics real. Good music and an excellent mix down and mastering job. Liking the tone of the lead picking.
harbored grudges and tethered hearts...broken glasses and fingers...
I like it. Sticks in the brain.
I like the guitar turn. is there more?
A story in a story in a story... sort of lullaby-esque
What a sweet little argument with a guitar... I like this one too. Catchy tune as well.
Comments made by James Michael Taylor
LIKE THIS.
Sounds like your version of Helter Skelter...
Real cause for the blues.
Sounds like someone is having fun. Reminds me of when I was a kid and Mom taught me to put wax paper over a comb.
Cool song...

Greg, I don't know about that contest. I DID get a song in an upcoming movie recently so that is a lot like winning a contest.
You songs are like slide shows... Little movies.
...sometimes the answer is "Yes", and sometimes, "No."
"...tin cup in a water pail..." Been there. Your song is full of very clear pictures. Like it.
Nice. I can hear the Beatles singing this.
Great energy. Great story.
I like it but I want to hear your words...
Very nice..."another place and another time..."
I second what Bethan said, "Sweet."
I understand. I have the same problem with a lot of old material.
Mix your voice so we can hear your lyric or include the lyric in the "about" section. I want to understand what you are saying.
Wish the voice wasn't so buried in the mix... Sounds real good.
Like it...glad you dug it back out. Sometimes we are too close to something when we first do it.
