159 James Taylor
A very popular show, with good audience numbers both in the cavern and in the wider world. An excellent playlist and notes contributed by Dave Gray gave us a show that none of the team could have done better, or, in my case, at all. Preshow was “James Taylor and…” featuring duets and collaborations, and the postshow was “James Taylor plays…” consisting of cover versions.
