James Taylor WNEW-FM Free Concert Sheep Meadow/Central Park July 31, 1979

The free concerts held at the Sheep Meadow in Central Park were always a happening. These concerts always drew tremendous crowds and a good view of the stage was sometimes hard to find. I arrived after the James Taylor concert had already begun and made my way near the front of the stage facing the left side. I was pumped up and started yelling “ Carolina in my Mind” as it was my favorite Taylor tune at the time only to find out from someone nearby he had actually opened with the song. WNEW-FM was New York’s preeminent rock and roll radio station and they hosted this particular event.
