Steamroller - James Taylor (Take 2)
Another rerecording of one of my earlier videos. I think that this take was much better. If you are wondering where I learned this, it was from a James Taylor songbook. I think you ought to be able to figure it out from watching the video. Please rate and leave feedback!
