James Taylor and the legend that
he is, and why his songs still resonate through all these years, is aptly
summed up on these lines from his website biography –
“James Taylor's music embodies
the art of songwriting in its most personal and universal forms. He is a master
at describing specific, even autobiographical situations in a way that
resonates with people everywhere. For more than forty years James Taylor has
been a compass for his fans, articulating moments of pain and joy, and letting
his listeners know that they are not alone.”
It is such a treasure to come
upon his website just a couple of years back, and I particularly adore his free
guitar lessons. It is truly a valuable gift that he shared his music and
artistry in this medium. I'm sharing this to honor a personal hero. Thank you, JT.
