Happy Thanksgiving

Carole King and James Taylor

Last night on my local PBS station, Carole King and James Taylor were in concert at the Troubadour. I have always loved both these artists and used to play them all the time when I was a young girl. When I say young, I mean from the time I was around 10 years old. I inherited both these "albums", yes they were vinyl albums, from my sister Kathy. They were a balm to the soul and I listened to Carole King's Tapestry and James Taylor's Sweet Baby James over and over again in my parents basement. That was where my stereo was, a Panasonic with turntable and radio combination. As I got older I listened to James Taylor more and in my young adult years, I played his greatest hits CD, that's right, CD all the time. I saw James Taylor live at the Garden State Arts Center (now the PNC Bank Center, never liked that name) many years ago. I do not listen to them much anymore but last night reminded me of the days of old and all those years in the basement. Below is the song, You Can Close your Eyes, it was a fitting way to the end the night after a very long and tiring week. Love their harmony and Carole singing the top of the melody.

Thanks Carole and James, you were with me through a lot of life stuff and thanks Kathy, you left behind a legacy of music that enabled me to enjoy so many different genres of music. This is one of them...

Book quote

Roscoe may have been a nice man, but he was over the top when it came to God. None of this happened because God was thinking about Sonja, wanting her to turn to Him. No way. She couldn't even fathom such a thing. For to do so would mean that there was a reason she lived - and others died.

She clamped her eyes shut and willed herself to sleep, choosing to face the disturbance of her half-dreams rather than the disturbance of her soul.
