1. Thank you. I love James Taylor. Always will. My children scoff.

2. Love James Taylor! I was also named after him.

My first name and middle name are Taylor and James, my parents told me that they named me after him, LOL.

3. Excellent taste on your parents' part.

And are you all from North Dakota, too? (I was born there long ago.) I noticed you posted a Fargo temperature recently. (26 degrees!)
Stay warm!

4. I live in Fargo, but grew up in rural NW Minnesota.

To be precise I live in the "suburb" of Moorhead, which is on the Minnesota side of the Red River. I grew up in Ulen, Minnesota, which is about 50 miles NE of Fargo.

5. Witchita Lineman by Taylor. No.

Too nasal for me. I liked the Glenny version. I remember driving back and forth to Chicago when it was popular and playing on the radio. Good sound for the freeway thru' Nebraska & Kansas. Kansas I think they played it constantly there.
But I thought it was kind of a dumb song. Linemen work for electric or telephone. Oh, maybe it's county electric?
But Taylor has them as ... loggers? Cutting down the forest? Where's the ecology in that?

8. Not a bad job...

But, I'm a Campbell fan so no one could beat him.

Saw James Taylor in concert a few years ago though and the whole concert...his voice, songs & acoustics were beautiful.
