It hit me...I know so many sides of so many arguments it's all become useless.

Don’t ask me any questions because
I know too much
I’ve read too much. I’ve written too much

No more dirth upon the land that withers under the assault

Barbara wrote this about a friend from Portland. It became her most requested song until she wrote North Sulfur River. But, then it was her only other song.

Lovely lilting melody and a song that would mean something to everyone I would imagine.
Great voice too. Is that Peggy in the background, sounds pretty?
Cheers Bethan

I think you wrote and produced it well, James. It’s got a beat for line dancing😊
If I may, I dedicate this song to a Republican Pres. Candidate.

James Michael Taylor played this last night at Hermann Sons to close out the night and left us all stunned. He told me he's never played this one in a jam before I told him...well it wasn't repeatable because we've all been missing a great song experience. Request it next time you see him.

Her real name isn't Luanne and she was so drunk when this all happened (tho she has a cd with this song on it) she has no idea it's about her.
Singing this song always makes me cry...

Not fooled by mocking birds & I’m not fooled by hope. Best line I have heard in awhile. Also I’m thinking to use as a hook in a song “the last time I said goodbye.”

Amazes me how you are never afraid to stretch the boundries, always squeezing the very last drop of originality & possibility from your many facets of talent.
Busted out this tasty delight overnight with my good buddy Timmy D! Oh we had a good time. We worked on the instrumentation from 6 PM to 2 AM, woke up at 7AM and recorded vocals until Tim had to leave at 10AM. It was a great jam night.

fyi Robert Hayden thanks JMT I doubt that I will try to cover this one, but I appreciate your creative genius none the less. I do cover several cof your works when I play. To me that is the highest form of a compliment, to have one of your works covered by other musicians.
Capo @ 2 in D (E) Dropped D tuning
Actually, it was almost two years. 1965-67.
Leavenworth, Kansas U S Army prison. I played the organ at the daily Protestant chapel. Took dictation and typed letters for the Protestant chaplain. Wrote 2-page…

One night after three month of no rain, as we were driving home from singing at Gringos in Grapevine a splash of water hit the windshield.
I said to myself, "Sweet Rain."
I went home and wrote the song. It's on the soundtrack of a movie called…
INFATUATION, UNREQUITED
They say it's just infatuation
I only wish that it was true
Infatuation, unrequited
Feels like love to, for you
And then they say, 'Silence is golden,"
And I don't know what to do
The autumn leaves, the branched…
Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
good one!
is that Butch on slide?
:)
Oh yes, like it.
There's something about this one I just like.,
I love it! It has a nice 60s/70s touch that I like.
OMG, what a delivery! Loving this one JM! Effective increase in tempo in the middle before the bridge. Superb track. Bethan
I love the music, well played guys! And the poetry reading is excellent. Cheers Bethan
Oh wow... 3 tracks that hit the nail right on the head for me.
And that's some pretty good ranting. Like this a LOT. It usually takes a while for lyrics to grab me, but this lot dragged me right in immediately.
Oh yeah, creepy. Like it.
I may have to download this to give the kids a chill tonight on Halloween! *WHO'S THERE ?*
Enjoyed that one. A fine track J.M.T.
I really like this a lot ,a very gentle & soothing song
I feel like a bad ass after listening to this. untouchable..
Nice response to what Adelson is calling for.
Reminds me of something "Yes" might have done. Good sounds.
There is something about a voice with guitar that really does it for me. So simple, natural and usually poignant. Very tenderly done JM. Cheers Bethan
Lovely lilting melody and a song that would mean something to everyone I would imagine. Great voice too. Is that Peggy in the background, sounds pretty? Cheers Bethan
Oh, that's a shock! I wasn't expecting that end. The whole song with such descriptive lyrics, I now want the sequel ..... did he stay? Cheers Bethan
