Lately people tell me they cry when I sing THE COUCH and YOUR VOICE. Last night, at dinner with True, he said GRAMMA'S SHAMPOO is like a stab in his heart. Maybe my grave stone will say:HIS SONGS MADE PEOPLE CRY.

Roland Brown Crying is the expression of our deepest emotions, I think. We cry when we are sad, we cry when we are deeply moved, and we cry when we are overcome with happiness. “He Made People Feel”.

Lazarus Knight A powerful line - "It’s the distance from the bulb. It’s not the fading of the light."

David Young I have always felt an emotional connection to your songs. “Help” was your song that first caught my attention then “Hickory Stix” and “Lisa Makes Appointments.” You have such a great talent for introducing characters and describing situations. You do it with simple but perfect lyrics and wonderful tunes. I never get tired of crying along with you!

I like it. It's a bit genius but it does prove that you write songs that don't always make you cry. Tony Desmuke

you are a great Songwriter my friend, lost my wife of 10 years little over a year ago So it touches home, done its job... Mr Jones

Bill Jones Hey James' Little long but guess you had nothing but Time...lol' Not bad~Not bad at all. Songwriter, myself I really Listen for the stories that make up an Artist, and his music...

Good work and good works to you! - Norm Ballinger

I was confused, thought I would hear ”I play C” which was the very 1st song I ever heard you sing, with guitar at a Kerrville Folk Festival. This instrumental has a large piece of yout soul in it. Handsomely done sir.

Love it - Elizabeth Smith

Roberta Hargrove This is beautiful!!! I

Lazarus Knight That was great, sir. I wasn't aware that you could tickle the keys that well. The piano suggests the melody so strongly that if you told me the instrumental came before the lyrics I could easily believe it.

Roberta Hargrove This is beautiful!!! I

Naad Kaur Khalsa James Michael Taylor love your recordings...this one has me feeling very much like I'm ok...just keep going...write and post anyway...just keep being somehow.. .still...I would so much love to have some lovin

Bobby Huskins I like this a lot. Peace!

Lazarus Knight It's working now. YOU AND jEFF SOUNDED GREAT TOGAETHER! That is, is sounds like Jeff Prince with you.

Cheri Chandler Lovely sad song

Robert Hayden Amazing collection of like minded thoughts. Very well structured & synched to a Havana like beat. Well done sir

Cheri Chandler Lovely sad song

Cheri Chandler James Michael Taylor that's so very sadly moving. A beautiful heart like yours to have remained locked away for so many years....

Great groove. Like the voices... .../the little reference to Good Vibrations.

This and djorklandia sound like movie music to me. Grand landscapes and epic travel shots.

Very cool song. Love the guitar sound.

That's a very cool song. Also, I want to say, "Thanks," for visiting my music. I used to play the Basement Coffee House back when Lyle was running the show. Married the girl behind the concessions counter.

Well, you are choosing your samples/sounds well. I really like what it all adds up to.

Too sad for words...

Breezy groove. Very nice.

This is beautiful. Is that a harp?

Love the blending of diverse elements.

Well, Dare I hope to do as well. But I'm sure going to do some experimenting.

That's the best synthesized strings I've ever heard that I know of. What are you doing them with?

Very mournful. Is that real violins? (pyropool@earthlink.net)

I can hear Marty Robbins singing this. Such a suggestion of sadness.

...a time a place and a girl. Nice song. Cool imagery...."snow has hushed the sound..." And the graveyard reference.

Like vocals.

Very good! ...and well done.

Such desolation...

For some reason, unbeknownst to me, I can not get this or the above songs to play.

I like this a lot. But on my player the background voices overwhelm your words. Want to hear the words. Want to hear the words.

Actually, it's more like Toy Matinee. Kevin Gilbert was one of my favorites.
