@GraceMusik Sweet! I had mine made in '96. It's just getting broken in! Yes, it's nice 2b close to Jims shop (a 20 minute ride). There are many players in the Twin Cities with his handiwork.
@ljtowle I have been in the Twin Cities area 3 times since 2005 and in my ignorance then didn't realize Circle Pines was just to the north. Could have visited him. DOH! Next time.
James Taylor is by far my favorite and most influential artist in my life today. Most covers I've heard have not done much justice to the songs, but you just nailed. Great Job, and I can't wait to hear more!
JT is passed as a pop sensation or pop radio icon of the 70's & 80's. Worse yet, Carly's Beau and MOR master. But he was there with Paul, Ringo, John & Paul at Abbey Road studios with Peter Asher in the late 60's as no accident. His genious created. Whole pop genre. He is literally the Segovia of the Singer-Songwriter art form. He heavily influenced Joni Mitchell, Carol King & Carly, amongst others.
Thanks for your post and I'm right there with you on the "artists influences by" list.
Great job!

@GraceMusik No, I had this made before the JT version was done. But it is almost exactly like JT's model!!

I hear just a touch of Jim Croce in your voice, very fitting to the song.
Thank you for the fine rendition, very well performed and recorded.
