"Big Love" by ERIC TAYLOR

This is from Eric Taylor's CD, "The Great Divide" from 2005. Last night Eric introduced this song by telling about the 450-lbs man known as "Big Love," and how the story came to be. He was an EXTREMELY shy person, there in Houston. He lived with his mother, who ran a flower shop. He would pick up all kinds of papers with phone numbers on them, and he would make calls to the numbers, and engage them in all manner of conversations. It was like his big social world, him being so shy, due to his self-esteem about his weight, etc. It is an amazing story. I hope you like the song and can sometime hear him perform it in person. It really added my appreciation to this and other of his songs.Eric will be in Seattle, Saturday, June 11th, at Egan's Ballard Jam and participates in a Master Songwriter class the Sunday after. I think he's the real deal and hope Rob can go. Tour schedule at http://web.me.com/blueruby/home/Tour_Schedule.html. Read more on our concert page at www.bozemanfolklore.org/concerts.html.
