None Better

Wife and I experienced a piece of pure heaven last night. We attended James Taylor's and Carole King's concert in Nashville, part of the "Troubador Reunion" tour.

Although I know every generation thinks the music they listened to in their formative years is the best ever, I challenge anyone to say/think it gets any better than this.

The tunes took me back, of course. Whether it was the radio at summer Boy Scout camp, my bedroom or in the car-- or wearing out the turntable with JT"s Great Hits and Carole King's "Tapestry" -- so many of their songs were the ones that defined my youth and have stayed with me.

"It's Too Late."

"So Far Away."

"Sweet Baby James."

"You've Got a Friend."

"Way Over Yonder."

"Carolina in My Mind."

"Natural Woman."

"Shower the People."

"Steamroller."

And the hits just keep on coming. You know them, too.

Thanks, my old friends, for a great time last night. Thanks for continuing to ply your trade and give the gift of your amazing talent.
