I was at Blue on Whyte in Edmonton back in October when one of the MC's announced that James Taylor of the Twisters was killed in an accident. Evidently they were scheduled to play at Blues on Whyte in the next couple days. Is this the same James Taylor that recorded many records, like Brown Eyed Girl, Just call My name and so on? Please let me know, can there be 2 James Taylors?? Thanks for your help Larry Hi Sorry for being ignorant.

This is David French, son of Bob and Sara French of Denman Island. I'm sorry for what happened, and I'm sorry for what you are now going through. There is a group of musicians in Toronto who want to help: We are holding a benefit to raise money for Carla and Rebecca. It will be: Monday/November 28th, 5:00-9:00 PM, the Tranzac Club 292 Brunswick Ave. Toronto. Several good musicians offered to play (most of them knew James), so we've got a fine band. I've been calling around trying to find out who the Twisters were connected with in Toronto to make sure they know about the event and can come support it. Let me know if there is anyone you'd like for me to contact. I will send you the proceeds from the event on November 29th. James and I were friends since I was a teenager. It is difficult to understand that he is gone. Despite the damage that you and the group have sustained I'm grateful that James' friends and bandmates did not have to share his path. Please don't feel a need to respond to this until after you've taken whatever time is necessary to improve your health and well being. With care, David French. Hello, Dave.
