With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go*

Today we toast singer-songwriter James Taylor (b. 1948) on his birthday. A six-time Grammy Award winner, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

So iconic for those of us who grew up in the 1970s.

Especially this song for me, because it is about a cowboy and also mentions the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston. The Berkshires seemed dreamlike…

Well, let that be your blast from the past for this week. You’re welcome.
