SWEET BABY FIRE & RAIN
JAMES TAYLOR has and will always be one of the most respected singers of our generation. His voice is so uncanny and anytime one heard a song that he was singing a smile always came to many of our faces. Taylor was playing at a local venue couple of years back and I thought I would share an interesting tidbit after just listening to SWEET BABY JAMES on the radio. He played to a full house and we always knew that he was a good singer but you had to get to him before he exited to his bus.
There were about 40 fans waiting in a roped off area hoping for a change to have an item mostly albums for him to sign. Inside the venue there was about 2000 fans listening to the legend perform all his great hits. As the 40 of us were waiting he exited the stage door and started to sign for the 40 there stating "Only 3 each" and went up and than down and then up again signing more than the 3 that most had. A lot of us were true fans and most had at least 7 of his albums and he never hesitated though he did appear tired after performing for over 2 hours. He took pictures and finally said "I have to go" and off he went into the bus.
The ironic thing of it all the 40 of us were pretty satisfied on meeting the legend and maybe 1 or 2 who were inside had the opportunity to get an autograph due to the fact by the time they exited , he was already in the bus. I even gave one album to a fan who was so disappointed so it turned a tear into a smile.
Remember Pay it forward as good things will happen.
