James Taylor

Let's see if you can guess what I want to talk about today. Yes, it is James Taylor. I dearly love his music. Since I was small I have liked him. My dad had a cd of his and I remember hearing it in the car. He has such a way of making music come alive and mean something special. There's just something about his songs that can make me feel at home and relaxed when it seems nothing else can.

My father-in-law gave me a cd of his that I didn't have yet when my husband went on a trip to another state for a week. I listened to it every night when I had to go to bed by myself and it made me feel as if I was a kid at home again. I'm going to go ahead and share with you my favorite song of his. You deserve the truth so here it is.

Go now and soak it in. It'll only do you good. I should probably give you the link to my dads favorite song also. I love my daddy very much and every time I hear this song now I think of him.

James wrote the song "Sweet Baby James" for his brother's new baby boy. And I love that about him. He said he needed a cowboy lullaby. I approve. I don't know if you heard or saw but Taylor Swift got to sing with him recently in one of her shows. I don't know if she realizes how lucky she is. I would LOVE to sing with James Taylor. That would be on my bucket list if I had one. Perhaps one day I will at least get to meet the man! Until then I'll keep listening and keep dreaming.
