On this day in live music history (2-6-70): James Taylor was without a doubt one of the pioneers of the singer/songwriter movement in the early 70s, and here he is on a Syracuse radio station in early 1970, giving you a glimpse of the man at the very beginning of his recording career.

* side note: I am just now finding that— for some reason— this and the last few day’s worth of audio clips are brutally cut off before the end of the song.  I am looking into this and hope to have all of the affected tracks fixed ASAP. Sorry and thanks.
