It doesn’t get any better than this. A free concert / Obama rally downtown in Raleigh at Moore Square. It was a gorgeous day, and James Taylor can still deliver. He was funny, engaging, and just as wonderful to listen to today as he was years ago when I first heard him on the radio. He even brought his wife on stage to sing back up with him toward the end.
I was standing about six “rows” back, but pushed forward once to get some close-ups. Wasn’t sure how well the shots would turn out with the strong sunshine / shade contrast.
Special thanks to Ginny Skalski for snapping a couple of photos for me (and for shooting this video) from her priviledged spot on the press risers, and thanks to my awesome co-workers Jeff Tippett and Alex Ford for being my James Taylor rally buddies.
