James Taylor
Without a doubt, the warming of the past 100 years has been a welcome respite from a long and deadly Little Ice Age. The possibility that humans may have contributed to the recent warming does not make it any less welcome.
James Taylor
But it's only after you've played it on the road 20 or 30 times that it becomes really finished and polished...and you realize what it means, and you get the phrasing right.
James Taylor
A concert is always like a feast day to me.
James Taylor
We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow.
James Taylor
I can't thank you enough for showing up. It's not the same without you.
James Taylor
I have a studio in a barn at home - we rehearse there, we film there and we record there. It's fun to hang out with my guys and see what comes out next.
