James Taylor is Chicken Soup for the Soul


As I have mentioned in previous posts, one of my favorite summertime activities is to attend concerts at Chastain Park. I love the intimacy of the venue. One of the biggest treats of the summer is to see James Taylor at Chastain. He loves Atlanta! In fact, he had 3 sold out shows. I attended the show on Sunday night. He was in his groove and actually played from 8:10 to 10:45 with only a 20 minute break. JT is looking very, very good and his voice, as always, is flawless! I took 80 incredible photographs but decided to include the one in which he is singing directly to me. :)





Every time I see JT, it brings me back to a concert in the gymnasium of Fairleigh Dickinson University in Hackensack, NJ. There were no assigned seats....we all sat on the wood floor. JT came out and introduced a new artist, Carole King, who was his opening act. She blew us all away. This was pre Tapestry. James Taylor came out with his denim workshirt and long locks, looking just like the cover of Sweet Baby James. We swooned and fell in love and I feel the same way today!
