Default James Taylor's song "Something in the way She Moves"

This is a rough "unplugged" version. I can't seem to get through this song without a blunder.(and I didn't this time either)
"Something in the way She Moves"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhvDmXLIfLI
I'm going to try to post one James Taylor song per week during this Month of March as a way to say Happy Birthday to Mr. Taylor who turns 70 this month.
I was 11 years old the first time I ever heard him. Fire and Rain was the song.
I've been inspired by his acoustic guitar playing and music ever since.

My Guitar is a Rainsong H DR1000 with Martin Retro Custom Lights (11-52's)

Nicely done, FS. I've been playing for fifty years and still can't make it through some songs without a blunder. At times, it's attributable to lazy technique...other times to my lack of concentration.

Thanks folks for the encouragement. James Taylor’s style is so difficult to duplicate because of it’s free form and flow. It is truly a part who he is. Art form personified. I’ll keep trying to play it as true to it’s origin as I’m able.
I encourage all guitarist and singers to explore James Taylor’s music.
