Yesterday Rick Babb came over to Fort Worth
to deliver some production stuff to the concert hall
to be used by Ricky Nelson's twin sons during their
performance. We had dinner together and he came over to the
house to kill some time until…

Actually, from the soundtrack of RED DESERT PENITENTIARY, this fragment of the original is used in a scene in the movie, DARK BLOOD.

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 )

One hundred yards from our…
The story our song that night (Songwriter night, Tuesday, at The Post, where we would divide up into groups and have a new song ready to perform in one hour) was about railroads and a girl from San Antone. When I got home I had the Tejas/Chaos…
Love the piano. Love the brevity, and the words themselves. Love "voice like confetti"! I get more about her story from the music itself. The words set it up beautifully. But the music, the back up, the energy had me seeing those waves, and sensing the sleeping fish beneath! Love the "tip" of another story, her buying l ip gloss in NYC. Love that that is all that you gave.

I BUY GUITARS
Em
One man might buy cigarettes and waste it all in smoke
Another marijuana and share a friendly toke
Am
Another, with more money, might invest in antique cars
Em
I buy guitars
A man might buy a baseball card
Keep it…
I have posted far too many wafty and generally pleasant songs. Time for something a bit more dark and malevolent - back to the dark side......
Lyrics:
I’m gonna wait until you are happy again And be waiting for you
I’m gonna wait until…
Another soothing, kind of playful fingerpicking tune, in something like E minor.
I had intended to put some lyrics over the rhythm track, but then I was having fun with the lead and decided to just keep it this way for now. Maybe another version…
My attempt at this super fun sea shanty!
This is an old New Zealand whaling song. The popular recent version was recorded a cappella by The Longest Johns. I'm using the chords suggested by Piotrek_G on ultimate-guitar.
Edit: re-uploaded…
A bit of wah lead to a song......
As the clouds start to break the suns on the run again
Keeping all that rain at bay
I’ve had enough of this damn lockdown
I want out, I want to live and have some fun again
Come on sun shine down on me…
She lies alone. She's crying.
The truth hit her like a rock
A rock thrown thru her window
The window to her heart
His eyes told her a story
And she believed it, every word
She made plans to leave forever
Her time was over on this earth…

When I was young we lived opposite a big play area - lots of grass and trees and bushes to rampage around - and in the middle a tarmac playground with the "amusements" - a witches hat (aka umbrella), a long rocking horse with saddles along its…
Ashes and dragon's breath - bright things in the sky, childhood games, battlegrounds, cemeteries.

Long long days, summer holidays, staying up late
green wood on the bonfire, we danced around the flames
street lights and stars…

Summer In The Wind was written by me and recorded by the Ninja Broilers (myself and my sister). It is dedicated to our mum. A song of sad goodbyes and new beginnings.
This is one of our first "international collaborations" - so the production…

Comments on James Michael Taylor's stuff
Such a good song in a short time! You finished it up beautifully JM.
The pumping in the background gives this such an edge. Most effective!
Yeah, drive on! Like the road from Houston to Fort Worth.
This one is atmospheric! What are you up to, exactly? Wonderful!
So we have travelled on and are now in the bar for some thirst quenching!
Definite native american indian feel! Lovely composition!
Well this is a prelude to something!
Like a prayer
pow-wow time
nice, like the barren-ness
Nice little ditties JMT. Been reading Ginsberg?
He howled in the night That someone was listening, He howled whole night That someone was. He howled all night And the moon Came out~
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

"Love this! That last verse... ummm hmmmmm." Gwyn Henry
Could you please add the lyrics. I'm a bit hard of hearing and I'm missing some words.
Great guitar sound. You write great "throw-away songs."
What a great groove (with Beatle fragments).

It might be silly but that's great rhythm track.
I like the bendy-swooniness of this..
Fresh and lively...trying to pick along...
Love it!
Gitty Up!
Been there with my parents...so sad.

This song makes me want to share a song of mine with you:https://alonetone.com/jamesmichaeltaylor/playlists/cushions/the-couch-022815-1
You are the female Pete Seeger. Talking is singing and singing is talking.
You are my new favorite singer/songwriter. I want to know everything about you.
Another gem. A picture book...
Another beautiful piece. I want to listen to everything you have written.
...and, yes, we do know!
Beautiful. Perfect voice. Love the chord change at "at the time." "Indigo night," brings a tear. Thank you.
