People should watch out for three things: avoid a major addiction, dont get so deeply into debt that it controls your life, and dont start a family before youre ready to settle down. – James Taylor
Performing is a profound experience, at least for me. Its not as if I sit down and play Fire and Rain by myself, just to hear it again. But to offer it up… the energy that it somehow summons live takes me right back, and I do get a reconnection to the emotions. – James Taylor
