Thanks Ron…
James Taylor was (and still is) great, if not genius, singer and such a pleasure to watch. Seeing him sing now with unglazed eyes makes it all the better.
A few years ago PBS American Masters ran a Program called – Troubadours: Carole King / James Taylor & The Rise of the Singer-Songwriter. It blew me away and I jumped online instantly ordered the CD / DVD package. It’s has a place of honor on my ‘at least once a year’ row.
Here’s a preview of the program:

Thank’s Steve, the emeded worked. Old people – me, Carol King and James Taylor are in in our 60′s now. I still like James Taylor and I’m still in love with Carol King.
