The Inappropriate Question
G C/Gbass
She said, “I can see that you’re hurting.
And I can see that you are wearing a ring.
Perhaps an inappropriate question,
but I’d like to ask you something.

I have a husband…

During the Iraq war there was a traveling exhibit: On a mall they would line up pairs of boots. One pair for each American soldier killed in Iraq.

I like this track, with all the ideas flowing through it... Background vox are beautiful and spooky, simultaneously! My one suggestion would be to take the lead vocals down some, as they stand out too far in fron t of the mix, in my opinion... :)
The banjo, bass and guitar on this song
was played by Michael Jeffrey. This is one song off the record we did together back in 1975/6 on his 4 track machine. Michael and Barbara Anne Taylor sing harmony.

"Love is just a pretty face" a line full of meaning, speaks volumes.
I like the more tender vocal. Ha, now you'll say you didn't change that!
Such a great song!

Yep, I could hear Neil Young and Queen, but also early David Bowie and Mott the Hoople - all of which (with the exception of Neil Young) form the very foundations of my record collection.
I'm a complete sucker for this song.
It's not just gorgeous. It's utterly, utterly, wonderful.
It says everything about "love" that folks like me (all my life I've been one of those dangerous "in love with being in love" people) need and want to hear.
It makes grown men cry (quite literally here at the moment).
I can't think what else to say - I SO wish I'd written this.
Thankyou.
I never sing this song the same two times in a row.
The lyric below is pretty close to how I sing it now.
Listening again, this is an awful version of this song...

Your song made me feel as if I were walking past this sad man's broken, tattered life. I don't think I've ever listened to one of your songs without feeling deeply moved.

Just a little place where people go

Listen to the band and think.

James Michael Taylor A true classic. Deceptively simple, yet so many feelings in there: angst, loneliness, and hope, all rolled into one. Davis When I wrote this, 50 years ago, I was afraid it would seem like nothing happened. Thank you for being able to read between the lines.
Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
Lovely swaying rhythm...very cool track, JMT.
There's something about this that really grabs me... truly inventive idea for a song. Yep, it really is all the same, isn't it?
Oh, yeah this wonderful. Really well pitched, could've been so over-sentimental but it's not. Love it.
Outstanding...
Grabs the attention from the off. Wonderful vocal harmonies. I like the alternating narrating and singing and the music is very pretty.
Begs to be incorporated in a rock opera.
Brilliant. "How do we know that a promise is anything more than a wish..." Woo This lonely little song needs a lot more attention.
I like this track, with all the ideas flowing through it... Background vox are beautiful and spooky, simultaneously! My one suggestion would be to take the lead vocals down some, as they stand out too far in fron t of the mix, in my opinion... :)
Beautiful.....
Ooo, I found this cos someone favourited it (thanks B!) It's gorgeous :)
"Love is just a pretty face" a line full of meaning, speaks volumes. I like the more tender vocal. Ha, now you'll say you didn't change that! Such a great song! Cheers Bethan
good thoughts and nifty tune
Fabulous vox James. Love your style man.
Cool tune JMT - Love that lead guitar. Has an Ozark Mountain Daredevils quality to it.
Excellent track mate.
Yep, I could hear Neil Young and Queen, but also early David Bowie and Mott the Hoople - all of which (with the exception of Neil Young) form the very foundations of my record collection. I'm a complete sucker for this song.
This is like Neil Young getting together with Queen and doing a ballad. Very cool arrangement!
It's not just gorgeous. It's utterly, utterly, wonderful. It says everything about "love" that folks like me (all my life I've been one of those dangerous "in love with being in love" people) need and want to hear.

Ooooooo! Gorgeous.
Wonderful song!

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
Good to hear the gang...after so long.
So, bright and clear...and, here in Cowtown, chilly. Good hearing your voice again.
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....
James Buchanan Sounds kinda Jimmy Dean or Tennessee Ernie.
Jess Edwards Great tune - catchy, upbeat, happy… Thank you
Terry Colquitt Love it! Bravo!
Sherra Leh Interestingly, I think if you were to re-release that album, it would do really well.

Damien Carroll Recorded in 1976? Sounds so fresh. Love the sentiment. I hear touches of Willie Nelson.
Keith Haas That was a cheap wine was it not? I think they were sipping 7 Up.
James Buchanan Almost Jim Croce
