Taylor Neal: songwriting, vocals, guitar, banjo, piano, and harmonica
Influences
Edna St. Vincent Millay, Flannery O'Connor, Sufjan Stevens, Page France, John Keats, Hina (she runs a beautiful tea shop in Sacramento), CP Dadant (the father of modern beekeeping), and the nice man at the coffee shop who gave me biscotti and let me read his speech about the environment
Sounds Like
Edna St. Vincent Millay, if she was a man, and played music, and wasn't dead.
Awesome! Yeah I'll be going to UW. I'll be living on campus in a dorm. (Fun times haha!)
Well, just keep us all posted, I'm sure you will, I'm really looking forward to going up there and seeing you perform is definitely on my things-to-do-list.
Well Cool. I am playing there at Egan Ballard's Jam House on the 17th September with 2Me. I think we play at 6:30. It's our only Seattle show, but we're playing on Vashon Island the 13th, then back toward Cali.

Im sure we are going to go next week so I will let you know!! Next week is my last week of summer. Crazy to think about not having as much time. When do you go back to Seattle??
Hello Taylor. I have a couple questions for you. 1) I am starting my addmissions essay and I was wondering if you still had yours just to read and get an idea? 2) I think me and megan are going to the rock again on saturday if you want to join us?? We can talk about the sermon for longer this time. I enjoy doing that and it got cut short because Megan had to get home.
oh cool!:) thank you muchly, Mr. Neal! i have sorta fallen in love with a Guild GAD-25 Acoustic Design Series Dreadnought. What are your thoughts on Guilds?

yay! We're m-space friends. I'm home, and just saw my sister gradjimatate! Family time is the best! Hope to see you when we both return to seattle. Keep me posted on any recordings or shows throughout the pacific northwest! Enjoy home. ;)
My mother said she felt sad and misses you even more now because I played some of your songs at the restaurant tonight. First of all, my father complained that all the CDs disappeared when I left and he couldn't remember your name. So he basically said "that album by your friend... the boy w/ puffy hair.. where did that go?" Anyways, they miss you a bunch. And obviously, I miss you more.

So i was reading the SPU magazine and there is a picture of you in it and I was real excited for some reason and I thought I would tell you:) Do you go there??
yyyay! a bike? thats aweseome!! well God has given me the chance to chill out with an amazing family whose hearts are sooo good. i have never had that before. ive been able to meet some really cool people. and my car is hopefully going to be fully fixed by the end of this coming.
and im just trying to focus on the things that are simple and happy. life is so much easier that way. sulking and mulling is no fun. what kind of bike are you riding?
I miss Taylor Neal!!! I am sorry that I did not get to see you when you were home. But I will introduce you to our little boy when you come home for the summer!
Hey, you! I hear you're home this week. I'm still in Paso. My spring break starts next week. I suppose you're going to be gone by then, eh? Oh, my parents opened up their restaurant not so long ago. Speaking of the restaurant, my mother asks you if you'd like to sing at the restaurant. It's kind of weird, no? Anyways, even if you don't sing, stop by when you have time and she'll feed you. :]
Your folk core video was fantastic...and pretty much got it right. Hey Martha, Beth, Charlotte, and myself may visit you during my Spring break. We're going on a college road trip and we wanna visit SPU.
"Counting sheep..." Hello, friend. I would like to have your address.. Because I'mma send you something..!!
School started. I'm second guessing myself whether I can do 20 units or not.. It's raining here... again. It's been raining for almost a week, I think.
