James Taylor Singing in Saint John


James Taylor Concert




 On my bucket list has been to see James Taylor in concert and this winter we heard he was coming to this area. Paul was able to get tickets early and we were sitting 5 rows from the front.
It was a fantastic show with 3 hours of many old tunes and some new songs.
He is a very gracious and kind individual.
All procedes from his Edmonton and Calgary shows are being donated to the Fort McMurray diaster.


During intermission he signed autographs and did photos. I was able to...... 


get closer and then....... 

Close. :-)
