I cast my vote! Can never have too many Taylor songs.

On another note, I truly enjoy seeing the older crowd still up and running. Male and female. And Elton!

Can't help but wonder what John Denver and Jim Croce would be doing today. Marcia and I go to Andy Williams every year. He's 83 and still a super entertainer. And there are twenty-somethings in the audience!!

Hi Willem,

I understand that sometimes the "Reccomend a lesson" is not enough, and a song just begs so much you can't help but make a thread for the request :)

This tune has haunted me since way back, was therapy to sing ... soooo melodious ... I must have driven the neighbours mad :blink:

Willem, although you posted a live version and some covers,

I have to say that James Taylor's album version is REALLY the one that sends shivers down my spine. (Put up the volume !)
We should maybe remind ourselves that whatever we hear on YouTube is probably of low quality, and that the sound of the SOURCE recording is SOOOO MUCH BETTER !




And here is the REAL ORIGINAL song from 1960 ... James Taylor's version is a BIT different
