James Taylor, aka Jelly Bean Man

For years James Taylor was known around our house as
The Jelly Bean Man. 

My son went crazy nuts for Sesame Street when he was around two or three and his craziness lasted for a good many years. We shared good times on Sesame Street -- loving all the characters, but most especially Big Bird and sweet Mr. Snuffleupagus. And shy Grover. Not so much the Count (Adam liked him and he was good for learning to count, but he drove me absolutely bananas!)

And singing the silly songs. Like Jellyman Kelly.
And deciding that the singer of this song was The Jelly Bean Man!

Adam sounded just like these kids when he belted out the chorus -- 

Ohhhhh, can he come home, Jenny

can he come home, Jenny

can he come?

Really yelling the Ohhhhh part!!

One of my favorite James Taylor songs is You've Got a Friend. It was written by Carole King in 1971 but was made famous by Taylor's cover version that same year.

This is what I love about James Taylor -- 

no theatrics, just a man and his guitar.
