I'm with you, Shambles and Mark/Bark. James Taylor may not be one of my favorites, but I listen to him sometimes and I certainly wouldn't slam the guy or anyone who wanted to learn one of his songs. It does seem that "singer/songwriter" is sometimes a bad word around here - I don't get it. But then, they guy I used to date, who was a rather prominent singer/songwriter himself, didn't like to listen to any OTHER s/s's. I never could figure that one out, either.campfire (leaning with the s/s crowd)
