I've been thinking today that J.T. has consistently beenJenny mused> The poster child for musical innovation, James is not. > Yes he earns his bread and butter on a few preciousand not-so-precious hits - and it is a dismal experience to see him in concert and be surrounded by people who only want to hear songs off his greatest hits - but he has made his mark as a songwriter -- not pushing the boundaries or making waves, but by writing little gems that have their place in the soundtracks of many of our lives (sounds like a bad hallmark, I> know, but it is true).
interesting every single time out. I think he's been much more interesting

Franklin pondering> Actually, I don't find that hard to believe...at all really. Weird, huh? From any TV concert footage I've seen JT strikes me as engaging, humble, and charmingly interactive with his audiences. Always (obviously) has one hell of a band, small or large, behind him. Once, again - I've always recognized that he is one hell of an acoustic guitar picker', his own style and all.
I'll have to catch his next gig up here. BTY, if I get the chance, do you think I should apologize, or just leave well enough alone? LOL
