Warm night, friends and JT....perfect!

Seriously, could you ask for much more? What a beautiful night to enjoy a little James Taylor under the stars. Connie shared her tickets with Shelly, Mary and I...thank you, thank you! Seems like the older I get, the less often I get to do things like this. James sounded as smooth as ever (does his voice ever change? He did look a little skinny, though). He seemed to have a more comprehensive band than when I have seen him in the past. He recorded an album of cover tunes recently and did several of those numbers (didn't love those as much). I'd have to say the highlight of the night was "Steamroller." Dang, that was awesome. There were some great keyboard, horn and guitar solos. And nothing makes you smile more than to see JT up there doing his goofy faces and dance moves...love it. I must say we had some pretty great moves ourselves! ;) Of course everyone goes crazy when Arnold breaks into his solo on "Shower the People." "Mexico" was another crowd favorite. I loved hearing "Carolina in My Mind" and "Your Smiling Face." I would liked to have heard "Sun on the Moon," "Traffic Jam," or "Chili Dog," but loved it all just the same! :)

What fun! You always were a JT head. I haven't been to a concert in a long time. I guess it's time I go.

What a great summer you're having, Julie! So great to be able to "see" it all from back here in Castle Rock (where you are still very, very missed!)...sounds like a Great GNO!
