    Taylor has been singing this masterpiece since the 70s . Now he gets to sing it with his family . It does not get better than that .

      RocketKirchner the family has been most generous with several videos from the home. The trio make a nice package. I wonder if they
      Will tour this way. A few other singers are including family members as they shelter together .

    James, so grateful this was a family act! We’ve loved you since our teens, and we are so glad the Lord was merciful to you, brought you through the dark times, and gave you a wife and children and length of days! Always good to hear you play the guitar; love your chords and picking. So glad you’ve exercised the marvelous gift God gave you! And glad that your son seems to have the same gift, too! Hugs and kisses to you all.

Many years ago I used to worry about you. It didn't seem like you were very happy. That is why it gives me great joy to see you now. I think (without really knowing) that the later half of your life has been very good to you and perhaps gentled you to a real place of peace and contentment, and happiness.

You have pulled me out of some very dark places and inspired me to be a better person. I just want to thank you from my heart. I try to listen to you every day but lately have missed a few. I have a terminal illness and am in the twilight of my life.
    I am pleased I came across this video of you and your beautiful family and was able to pass on this brief but heartfelt note. Thank you for the gift of your music. Please pass on my best wishes and love to your family. Godspeed James. From my heart, Michael.

    I've always loved this song. One of my favorite James T creations. First time I heard it, Graham Nash sang it at a Seton Hall concert here in NJ. It had just come out and Graham loved it and wanted to play it for us.
    Got about half-way through and messed up the chords and stopped, saying something like, "Well you get it; it's a beautiful song!" Or something close to that.
