James Taylor…He Still Has It
Candace and I went to the James Taylor concert on Saturday night. It was a nice evening. As usual, Candace looked beautiful. As we were wading in the Mandalay Bay of Immodesty , she stood out as a woman of value and morals and that makes me adore her more.
Before the show, we ate dinner with a good friend of mine from the mission field. He is currently a Marine based in Oceanside, CA and he has some great experiences to share. Since he is Tongan, he serves as the official liaison between the US Marines and the Tongan military. He’ll soon be heading to Iraq for a third time for deployment.
This concert was my 12th JT concert and the second one for Candace. I still enjoy hearing him play live because he does such nice remakes of his songs. As I said before, they are “familiar enough to love and new enough to feel like you’re discovering them again.” Also, he is quite a comedian between songs. As usual, he ended the show with my favorite tune and it left me satisfied and smiling.
While I attend a James Taylor concert, I think I stick out just a little. Over the years, I’ve become so familiar with his music that it takes me just a note or two to know which song he is beginning to play. Even if it has a different beginning from the album, I can usually tell by the range or even by the guitar chord he is using. Because of this quick recognition, my cheers come quite a while before the rest of the crowd and I think that embarrasses Candace just a little. But at least JT knows I’m eager with anticipation.
And coincidentally, James Taylor has a new album released today. It is actually a live album and DVD of the show that Candace and I went to while in San Francisco last February.

About Me
My name is Brian Stucki. I live in Las Vegas with my wife Candace and my son Cole. Other interests include my company, my religion, sports, and learning about history.
Feel free to contact me.
So which song was the last one? (Your favorite?)
Let me guess! Let me guess! “You Can Close Your Eyes” I have yet to go to a concert but I think that is your favorite JT song. Am I right? (If not, I will blame it on this pregnancy).
So this is how men feel when woman go on and on and on about pregnancy…
(You know I am SO kidding. I understand your obssesion).
Jamie, you’re right on the song.
you’re quite the JT expert! That’s really funny about your early cheers. Stacey you’re hilarious as always.
What an amazing husband you are to give such nice comments to Candace. I think you need to give Chad a few pointers. Sounds like you guys had a fun night.
Brian, That is the #1 thing I think of when I hear your name…JAMES TAYLOR…haha!! And you are so sweet to Candace! She is so sweet!
I don’t know if you remember me, Heather Terry. I came across your blog from Rachel’s. But I think it is awesome how complimentary you are to your wife. It is so sweet to hear what you have to say about her. I don’t know her very well, but it seems like you are right in all of your comments. Keep it up!
