  • Livingston Taylor: Life without a rear view mirror

    Livingston Taylor: Life without a rear view mirror
    Jun 20 2025
    In the saucy second half of our interview with Livingston Taylor, the legendary folk musician gets philosophical about life, electricity and fire, performing, teaching, and hope. Notably, he discusses why he doesn’t want to dwell too much on his past. He said he sees more patterns as he works with more students over time. “I learn from them what they learn from me.” And he takes out his guitar again to show us how standards inform his own creations.
