Monday Pick... The William Faulkner of Songwriting.

AllTheLegends
StillToDiscoverVille


Eric Taylor, who wrote a lot of great songs for other people, has died.

Here he is performing his ode to the legend that Keruoac, Ginsberg and Kesey built:



You can read Mr. Taylor's excellent obit by Bill Friscics-Warren in the NYT here.

You can listen to an entire set by him from a while back, which also features his distinct finger-picking style, here.

Hadn't heard of Eric Taylor, man that's good stuff.

Had him on all afternoon fixing bicycles. Best in the background work music.

Thanks Eric.

I did the same thing Keith.

Only in my case I was twisting and turning letters instead of nuts and bolts (and wheels)....Pretty sure I'd rather be doing the latter.
