I was delighted to welcomed back Tom Page and Julia Lacey to sing and play their mandolins live. Three of their four songs they performed were written by Ron Trueman-Border. Tom also spoke about James Taylor, noting how he makes song writing, playing the guitar and singing sound so smooth and easy.
