I just got a new Vespa, riding on it since yesterday, jo! This Drive fits O.K. :-)

Yeah! One of your long, straight roads, top down, sun shining!

Super native american flavoured track. Sounds good through the headphones especially.

Great track mate.

That's pretty darn good, especially for the situation you described. It's really fun that you caught it on tape.

Another gem. You got me laughing. Sometimes we're our own worst enemy. Sometimes we just need a little short term pleasure. I like your optimism! ( it's not if . . it's when )

Oh how we love to add to our troubles.

I like this song very much. IMHO it's your best song from this album. Well done. ER

Well, they are all good Im sure , But this one is straight across. I like the clearity. More straight on please

Damn, James you really sound like nile young

A provacative story, and the scary thing is that it's true.

A amazing bit of information to share with a broad spectrum of the populous

HA! Great stuff!

If I remember it correctly, this track is more poignant sounding than the previous version. I liked the way you softened the vocal for the,"We blame ourselves....." and I still love the chorus. Nice intro and outro too.

very informative James, I'm so happy my fat ass can be blamed on somebody else

Great message... Also, the style of the music fits the spirit of what's being sun... Awesome!

This is enchanting. I really enjoyed your story, the chorus is clever and I love the dual vocal used to great effect.

WOW!!!!! LOVED ALL OF THEM.IMPOSSIBE TO KEEP A DRY EYE! "THAT SAME CONVERSATION" REVISITED.

I like how you do your harmonies. Give those guys a raise.

how cool is this, and it is such a nifty way to blame our troubles on the bad guys who run everything (those bastards)

Great groove...

Such pathos. We could collect all the Ghost Town songs on Alonetone and have a very interesting album.

It would be cool to put the GHOST TOWN songs in a collection. A great subject with so much sadness... You really capture it here.

Gwyn Henry said, "How random, Jim! What precipitated this sharing??? Don't get me wrong, it is very funny. My reply, "This was about when Peggy, my fuck buddy for 29 years said no more for me. She was giving it to Doug. Not funny to me. So 15 years celebate."

I randomly chose an old album to pick a song from to post and it turned out to be songs one year after Peggy left. I was at my lowest, loneliest, most unconsolable. STRANGER was a song that also spoke to me about my dad having lost my mom. to Gwyn Henry

I also like These are the Only Times I Think of You... You are so prolific and so consistent in quality of work. Gwyn Henry

WoW! What an interesting counterpoint: slow recitation with snappy drum track.

Really snappy and tight. What an interesting lyric.

That pain is incredible and I understand it Alene Brandt

Scott - Thanks for the link. I love how descripted they were i never have smelled the orange blossoms but i bet they are heavenly. Me -The first time it hit me, I was taking Kay Smart for a ride, top down just west of that bridge at Lemon cove. Nothing else like it. Scott - Enter Scott Scott Carson Ausburn I bet ; ) Nothing like smell to jog your memories. I usta be in love with this girl named Belinda that lived up the street from my Grandmothers. We would go bicycle riding often. Her front yard had plum trees that smelled heavenly when the were in bloom. Now every time i smell a plum tree bloom it takes me back to the good times i had with Belinda and wondering what ever happened to her. Me -So sweet. Peggy wore Sweet Honesty perfume. I’m sure if I met some girl with that I would be shaken.

I sang this song at a Sunday night songwriter contest at The Playground in Fort Worth. No cigar.

Gwyn Henry I go farther and farther into my appreciation of you songwriting skills... lyrics poetic... ex Broke Piano.. The line that got me this time was "The only things that moves my strings is when somebody breathes" I once interviewed a popular musician in Tulsa, John D.Levan, in the late 70s. When I asked him where he got his ideas for songs, he laughed and said, "Heck, you just turn your head, and thre's a song!" Your line is saying the same, only more intensely... it's the inclusion of "human breath". goes even deeper.

Gwyn Henry That one would be my fav of all I have seen! They are all great, but my fav... will never forget you underneath that (was it a piano bed?) So many metaphors played into that... and don't we all just want to revert to childhood at times and go hide under the bed, take a crayon, etc. jmt - You are broadening my vision of the video. Yes. Under the bed was always a place of mystery and imagined safety.

Bobby Huskins I like this a lot! Thanks for sharing.

Kat Angel Psychedelic sound. Felt like a brain massage.

Kat Angel Wow! Through your words, I heard my mother, my father, my sisters and brother, my grandma and grandpa, myself talking to my husband, my best friend. I suppose we are all that predictable in time and in retrospect. You made me think and travel through time.

Kat Angel James Michael Taylor great song. I love the melody and the words

Joseph Brunelle Haunting Sentimental heart on the sleeve and knot in the pine

Belinda Stephens - Lovely, James. Who are you singing about? James Michael Taylor Belinda Stephens Specifically, Peggy. But we all have the voices of our parents and children and other loved ones that we live with.
