James Taylor - on a day like this.....

I'm actually chewing spearmint gum with a cat in my lap trying to unwind.

WHEW! What a day.

1. Another Classic to cope to...

[Verse 1]
Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

[Chorus]
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again

[Verse 2]
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand and I won't make it any other way

[Chorus]
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I'd see you again

[Verse 3]
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

3. You and me are in a vein

Ironic I know given James past

Love that song. Last song on the radio when we moved out of Richmond (moved back later). Always hit me related to 9/11.

Saw him in concert a few years ago saw him in concert. At intermission he throws on a hat and sits on the edge of the stage - my wife got a picture with him.

First talent signed by Apple Records. He was recording in Abbey Raods when The Beatles were making the"White Album". Visited the studio.

5. I saw him in 2012

at an Obama rally in New Hampshire. He sang all my favorites. It was more like a concert than a rally.

4. Sad memories...

This was played at my brother's funeral.....

7. James Taylor is just such a sensitive musician. It's amazing.

I read that his mother was a trained classical musician, a singer. I can hear that in James Taylor's focus on intonation and the careful attention he naturally pays to the sounds of the words he sings.

He is just wonderful to listen to. It's as if every tone is a caress of the listener.

2. Thanks, I needed that. Maybe I will sleep tonight after all....

6. Thanks! I really needed to hear that.
