    We went to the Cincinnati show (Eagles) and even coming to Cincinnati sometimes can be a pain if there's a ball game in town (which thankfully there was NOT the evening we came). Did you see that show?

    Miamisburg - nice area. My aunt lived in Fairborn near Wright-Patt. We'd shoot straight up I 675 to get there, right about where Dayton Mall is in Miamisburg.

    Yes, we saw the Cincinnati show. We were pretty far up on the right side relative to the stage, but we were right above the stage and had a great view of the viewscreen - like watching a DVD...

    Looks like his new album just got to number 1 on Billboard, ahead of the youngsters. Quite an achievement, which means I have to start my revisit of his work that I've been putting off for a while.

    VH1 recently showed a 30-minute documentary on the making of JT's latest album. Did you catch it? It was interesting - he has a recording studio on what looks like his home property, and a group of musicians who've been working with him for years. His wife Kim speaks a bit. He wrote a song about her called "You and I Again" that's really lovely.

    James is a musician thst know enough about to own a greatest hits cd of. However, after reading about how good his new album is, I think that it might be time to change that. What's his best album to staet with? Is it the one with Fire and Rain? (Sweet Baby James I believe is the album? )

    Sweet Baby James was his first album in the U.S. I believe, released in 1970, and yep that's the one with "Fire and Rain." As a special bonus, Randy Meisner plays bass on "Country Road" and "Blossom."

    I defer to the more knowledgeable folks to say what his best album is... personally, I enjoy his 70s hit singles: "Shower the People," "Your Smiling Face," "How Sweet It Is," etc.

    Congratulations to James Taylor on getting to #1 on the Billboard chart. I heard one of the new songs on the radio a couple of weeks ago and I thought it sounded pretty good. He has such a great voice, stately and calming. I saw a concert of his on TV a few years ago, he definitely still seemed to have 'it'.

    If you think owning a compilation album would be enough, then I'd suggest his 1976 Greatest Hits album. This is the one I own, and is a very strong collection of songs. I don't own any of his albums but from reading about his career then I'd definitely suggest Sweet Baby James would be a fine starting point.

    My favourite James Taylor song has to be the classic Fire And Rain, although I also really like Something In The Way She Moves, Carolina In My Mind, Country Road (some rather good bass playing there ) and Shower The People. I tend to prefer his more folk-rock/country-rock songs to the easy listening ones like Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight although he is good at both.

    Wow - Congratulations to Sweet Baby James. That is an awesome accomplishment for an 'ole' guy this day and time!
