Why James Taylor came home to Chapel Hill
Posted Dec 1, 2018
I think I understand why James Taylor came home to Chapel Hill. Other than the fact that he is one of the greatest singer-songwriters in American musical history, and I am not, he and I have a lot in common. We both grew up in Chapel Hill. Our parents were good friends. His father, Ike, and my father, Bill, both taught at the University of North Carolina medical school.
