#music, James Taylor on a Friday Night…

(James Taylor, Boston, 1948-Photo http://www.jamesTaylor.com)

One of the first songs I ever learned to play (a non-Beatle song that is) was «Fire and Rain». And that was in 1970 when I was starting High School in Miami, Florida! Wow! So many years ago! I was really impressed with this North American singer-songwriter, singing calmly with his acoustic guitar while everybody else was jamming like maniacs. So I bought the album and «Sweet Baby James» quickly became one of my favourites…

Hope you like it…

I chose this version because I liked the story he told about writing this tune. I had no idea why it was called Sweet Baby James and now, after fifty two years, I know. Maybe it is the same for you…

Cheers…
