James Michael Taylor's listening history
          SUZY WOOZY
In trees that topped the tallest roofs
There lived some people known as swoofs
They built their houses up so high
The swoofs had wings and liked to fly
They flew to school. They flew to play
Most swoofs liked to climb that way…

          SMART
If I'm so smart, why are you telling me what to do?
You say I'm smart as you times two
If I'm so smart, won't you be quiet and let me think
How did I get so lost, if I'm so smart?
If I'm so smart, quit telling me to move along
That…

EULOGY
He grew up in Clinton, Oklahoma
Red dirt back yard, Gramma's place
Honey suckle in a dust bowl
Life as hard as limestone lace…

          YOUR VOICE 
I hear your voice
I go get my ladder
Pull on my gloves
Climb up to the gutter
Where the leaves gather round
Talk about the weather
I hear your voice
I dig out our blankets
The 'lectric controller
Your grand mother's quilt…

          This is my Katrina song.
THE NEW NEW ORLEANS WALTZ
There is a house in New Orleans 
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a boy
And Lord knows I am one
Storms may come and storms may go
But the sun will always shine
Unless…

          SHOES 
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.

          IF I WAS A LUTHERAN - capo @ 2 in C
If I was a Lutheran I might have married Dodie Harris
Learned hill-side irrigation and I'd have learned to weld
And all the city fathers would have slapped me on the shoulder
And all the city mothers wished…

          Since my ear found your voice
And my eye found your face
All the sights and the noise
Will never erase
The song I started singing
The song I sing today...
