Notes

Jenna drew a good crowd on a stormy Saturday – I was rather surprised to see how many folks made it out – and she rewarded us all by running through two healthy sets of James Taylor-related tunes. It was fun hearing the stories she and John had to share, and I hope they manage to get their show on the road – my guess is that there are LOTS of James Taylor fans out there who would appreciate the show too!

Jim Bennett did a great job mixing the sound, and I hope he recorded the show for future broadcast on his KCSM radio show, In the Moment.
