Default James Taylor is 70! (so am I)

James Taylor was born on the March the 12th 1948.

Happy Birthday James!

However, I was born on the 11th March 1948, and am now 70 years and one day!

I often wondered whether, if my Mum had held on for one day, I might have been a famous singer -songwriter-guitarist!

Congratulations Silly. Taylor may have the fame and fortune, but you've got more hair.

Seasick Steve made it big in his autumn years, so there's still time. You might have to invent a back story of jumping freight trains and living as a hobo.

I've heard of you and I've seen your videos so you must be famous.

Happy 70 + 1 day birthday.

JT doesn't have a Youtube channel as cool as yours, but since he's your same age there's hope for him yet!

You've both seen a lot of fire and rain.
Mine is on St Patrick's Day ... March 17.

If you ever meet up with JT, I hope he'll have manners enough to address you as "Sir"? Best wishes!
