One time, Taylor [Phelps] and Gary had come over to the ranch and visited Shakey Heights so I could play them the title song I had written and recorded for Jonathan Demme’s classic film Philadelphia. When they sat down on the couch, I put it on the stereo, played it through my big old Altec speakers and McIntosh amps, and listened with them. Closing my eyes, I felt the music and the song heavily. When it was over, I looked over at both of them; they were crying together in an embrace. That, and Tom Hanks’s gracious mention of my song as one of the inspirations for his own performance in the film Philadelphia, will be meaningful to me forever, and connected my friend Taylor to the music.
