JAMES TAYLOR HONOURED FOR HOMESICK HIT
Folk-rocker JAMES TAYLOR has been honoured by his hometown University of North Carolina for his classic track CAROLINA IN MY MIND.
Taylor penned the song in 1969 while pining for his hometown and he performed the track with the North Carolina Symphony last Sunday (01OCT06), where they were both awarded the 2006 Carolina Performing Arts Lifetime Achievement Awards.
The five-time Grammy winner says, "It’s strange but somehow compelling to come home and sing it.
"It draws a line through my own personal history and connects me again to a place that I go to in my dreams. A landscape that will forever be part of me."
