James Taylor's Greatest Hit

Don't say Goodbye 
to the Fall without J.T. !
  
September Grass

Well, the sun's not so hot in the sky today
And you know I can see summertime slipping on away
A few more geese are gone, a few more leaves turning red
But the grass is as soft as a feather in a featherbed
So I'll be king and you'll be queen
Our kingdom's gonna be this little patch of green


I can’t let the fall slip away without a few stanza’s from James Taylor’s least known non-greatest hits—from the October Road cd.  Whether I am rolling up and down Maine’s back roads or stuck in metro traffic—if it is the fall, I have this cd playing.  The tone of the music is soft and fits the season as it passes away.  It also brings back memories of seeing him in concerts—and for me—this music fits his gentle character and nature. Perhaps the greatest hits have little to do with sales and everything to do with the authenticity of the composer.  






October Road
Keep me walking, October road.
Keep me walking in the sunshine, yeah
A little friend of mine
October road
(repeat)
Help me now
