    The “First Concert” question reminded me... My son’s first concert was to see and hear YOU in Oklahoma City in 1992. He was less than a year old, but he loved it. Sitting on a blanket on the grass with a squirming little boy is the best way to experience James Taylor. Thank you for that lovely memory.❤️✌🏼

    Just to hear him talk brings peace to my mind! He must be a very fulfilled and happy man!! I hope he is...
    Wow, what a personality!!

    I was at his concert years and years ago when his guitar string broke... he looked at it and said "you can be replaced"... so whimsical and quick... he's amazing!!!

    Since the late sixties, whenever I'm "down and troubled" I've turned to James Taylor's music -- and as I've gotten older, James Taylor the human being -- to remind myself of our collective humanity. One of the top ten moments of my life was during a personal crossroads: a near-front-row seat at an early 1971 Carnegie Hall concert performance by Mr. Taylor (with Joni Mitchell appearing as a surprise guest). The guitar and music and songwriting and striving to be a decent person were inspired by that concert -- and a cherished memory I could always turn to for some degree of emotional comfort. Thank you James for sharing a part of your life with those of us who have, in one positive way or another, been touched by your music.

    His music gets me through any troubles or hard times. It's the words but mostly his beautiful voice.

  • @keithsparling5537
    @keithsparling5537 3 роки тому +1

    And I thought it was just me.... I too have been listening to J T since the beginning, grew up with his music, and lived by some of his lyrics...still do! I love this guy, and I hope I get the chance to tell him one day what his music did for me, how it anchored me at times, how at times it helped me to focus....how it kept me sane at times! We all are so lucky to have been born into a musical era of a conglomerate of artists that were incredibly naturally talented, so very dedicated, and so awakening! James Taylor is the closest to my heart.... and soul.

    I was at the concert when he messed up the name of the town. It was in Virginia, in the 90s. we were all confused for a second. I didn't think we treated him badly. We loved him anyway. Traveling everywhere is confusing sometimes. Proper City name or not, his music has always comforted me and made me smile

    I love how you are so genuine, kind hearted, soft spoken, funny, just love your style and always have. God bless you for the positive impact you've had and still do in my life. I love working with wood as well ! Was planning to see you in Louisville KY before the pandemic canceled all concerts... hope to see you again !

I’m sure you would have been a great woodworker. ( my grandfather’s name was Rufus. Your son is the only other person I’ve ever heard of with that name! Love it.)
