The "umph" heard round the world.
This month the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald will be 50 years ago.

Belching like a bull whip to make the water blow
Monster in the making, Frankenstein unchained
Gravity…

It hit me...I know so many sides of so many arguments it's all become useless.
TOO MUCH
I’ve heard too much. I’ve seen too much
Don’t ask me any questions because
I know too much
I’ve read too much. I’ve written too much

I laid down some tracks and Jeff, upon listening came up with this rant...
NO MORE
No more sin or sorrow foolish tantrum to a fault
No more dirth upon the land that withers under the assault
No…

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 finally was able to remix the song. Please listen to "Fide On The Broom Stick (Version 2012)" in my track list to compare…
Listening to this I see icicles melting as the sun comes up and the melted water flows into the gutter and then into the storm drain.....cars pass by and people run to the bus stop. Watch the passing storefronts as the town wakes up. Very evocative.
This is a page from my "sketchbook". I regularly sit with a guitar and just let the flow of thoughts drift up in words and progressions. I will rather "surf" an idea that arises on some set of words, but I don't "control" much of this. So it's…
Another page from my "sketchbook". This is typical. Not much detail. But a real feeling or two emerges. Like a potters perfectly turned shard or the poet's beautiful line that she's never found more words to join with...
It's not unusual to chase your girl around with a dull axe, is it? Just kidding - This was 60 tracks and almost a year to finish. I had some help:

Sam was a very articulate and kind friend; he spend way too much of his life in a wheel chair and yet demonstrated a lot of grace.
We lost him just over a year ago.
Among many other unexpected, Christ-like kindnesses, he realized at one point…
I had some lyrics describing a late nite cake baking experience kicking around. If I have a lot on my mind, dirtying every dish in the house seems like the right thing to do.
I stole some cool percussion from Norm and went to work. I also…
Deadlines, freeways, appointments, things to do lists, expectations, getting older, not enough hours in the day to get everything done? ..... make each day and moment count! Thanks to Dave Matthews for a lick I threw in there. Enjoy!
Several years ago I had a short lived duo with an oboe and English horn player named Nat. This is a demo from that period. It's an old old chord progression of mine that never really had a melody and Nat improvised this melody in the studio to…
This is big open prairie music. Out between Dodge City and Denver. I can see the buffalo grazing and the hawks slowly circling
somewhere between the bent grasses and a wisp of cloud.
Sunday aftnoon (11/09/08) took the reso down to the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum and recorded some doodling inside the Serra sculpture Vortex. No effects added, all natural reverb inside the structure.
It's cool for PLACE to be so "real" in a piece.
Funny I do a piece today called SUNDAY AFTERNOON and you post this with Sunday Afternoon as the first two words.

This is the finished version of Trance-Indental. the second half has come out very different to what I thought it would, but I like it. Give it time to build as it progresses.
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

Like the use of the metaphor.
What a sweet song. I bet your grand daughter loves this.
Love your imagery and harmonies...
Thanks for your comments. I like the way this bulds. Sort of Beatley. Sort of Pink Floyd.
Nice music for a rainy day....
Sounds like a musical rocking chair....or porch swing...has me swaying in my seat.
Sounds like something from Goldfinger...great movie music!
This is pretty wild. Like something from the 007 movies.
So glad you kept it simple...a touching tribute.
Very cool...
Good, chunky guitar sound. Groove.
That good old Beach Boys sound. Cool!
I can see the cows out there by that cactus stand. Nice twangy guitar.
That is a very cool groove. The sort of thing that keeps me going until I have a very cool new song.

Hey, Kavin.! I figured I'd put up the songs from my new CD. Cool, doing a Doors song... j mt
