    Taylor has been singing this masterpiece since the 70s . Now he gets to sing it with his family . It does not get better than that .

      RocketKirchner the family has been most generous with several videos from the home. The trio make a nice package. I wonder if they
      Will tour this way. A few other singers are including family members as they shelter together .

    James, so grateful this was a family act! We’ve loved you since our teens, and we are so glad the Lord was merciful to you, brought you through the dark times, and gave you a wife and children and length of days! Always good to hear you play the guitar; love your chords and picking. So glad you’ve exercised the marvelous gift God gave you! And glad that your son seems to have the same gift, too! Hugs and kisses to you all.

    When I met you and your wife anonymously in Brookline, I had no idea who you were. I thought you were an accountant or lawyer. Turns out I was talking to my idol, a man whose lyrics have filled me with inspiration and given me hope, brightened up even my darkest nights.
    Your song here provides comfort in the one of the hardest times for us all. Beautiful, organic, simple and full of sounds and rhythms - there is no equal. Thank you and your family.

Many years ago I used to worry about you. It didn't seem like you were very happy. That is why it gives me great joy to see you now. I think (without really knowing) that the later half of your life has been very good to you and perhaps gentled you to a real place of peace and contentment, and happiness.

    MGH is the best! As a Firefighter/Paramedic in the Metro-Boston area, I can first-hand say, we have the best hospitals in the world. As a dad of a son with special needs, what more could I ask for than Children’s Hospital Boston. Just left BIDMC on a run actually. Oh, and don’t forget the holy grail of mental healthcare, Good Ole’ McLean! I owe my life to them! One of the best behavioral health programs for First Responders in the country.
    Mr. Taylor... You’ve been an incredible source of healing for our community. I was there back in April 2013, at Officer Sean Collier’s Memorial service when you “Showered” us with your always humble love for your fellow human beings.
    My Brothers and Sisters in my station were First Due for responses at MIT and work closely with their PD. It hit our whole community really hard on top of the marathon bombings.
    One of the godsends during that time was that humble guy who I think took the “Turnpike from Stockbridge to Cambridge” to let us know “things were going to work out fine....”. You weren’t lying brother! Forever grateful for your presence that day,
    Best of health and happiness to your family! Cheers

    Got about half-way through and messed up the chords and stopped, saying something like, "Well you get it; it's a beautiful song!" Or something close to that.
