A very special opportunity to see James Taylor perform at Palau de la Música, Barcelona. May 4, 2012. Here are some photos we took from our seats…

And here is a video someone posted on YouTube (hope JT doesn’t mind). For this tour he’s only got two other musicians with him on stage, so he’s using a vintage tape recorder for the backup vocals. It’s controlled by a switch that JT operates with his foot during the song. He says it’s the same machine he used for his SNL appearance in the ’70s. Rock on, JT. Rock on.

Highlights of this fall – visiting our nephew in Valencia, habaneres and “burnt rum” at a neighborhood festival, Rachmaninov and Dvorak at the Palau de la Música, and an expat Thanksgiving with new friends. Life is good.
