Wonderful. We had one of those sing along kids music tapes when my kids were little, Joanie Bartells, and this was one of the songs. I sang to to my kids every night at bedtime, I so love this song.

Thanks for that. Wonderful.

I am always amazed at people who can "just sing harmony."

Taylor's son, Ben, has an album out as well. It's pretty good, but I'm not sure if the creativity of his dad got passed down.

Also, why put a capo up only one fret? Does it really make that much of a difference if you're playing guitar by yourself?

It's a key change method. A cheating easy way to raise the pitch or to accommodate your vocal range.

I know. But one fret is only half a note...

Sometimes that's all it takes.

Thanks for sharing. My parents really love this song, and I can see why. Something so special about James Taylor’s style. He looks quite aged but that video felt pretty authentic.
