While in New York City, Taylor formed the band The Flying Machine, although the band did not stay together long. After voluntarily committing himself to McLean Psychiatric Hospital in Belmont, MA to treat his severe depression, Taylor moved to New York City after his release. During this time, Taylor formed a band called the Fabulous Corsairs with his brother Alex and three friends in the mid 1960’s, but then returned to Milton Academy to finish school. He experienced severe depression being so far from home and briefly returned to North Carolina, where he attended Chapel Hill High School. It wasn’t until he left for boarding school at Milton Academy in Massachusetts that he began experimenting with writing his own music. I believe that was an important part of whatever creative life I've had." There was this long, uninterrupted time to let your imagination grow. I tell my kids that we were pre-TV and there was a lot of empty time there, slow weekends when you just walked into the woods and found whatever you could to kill time.
In an interview in 2000, Taylor told The Charlotte Observer,"What I remember most about Chapel Hill is the landscape. “Carolina in My Mind”, Taylor’s “tribute song to his home state” is “known and loved by countless Carolinians.” “Copperline” tells the story of Taylor’s return to his childhood stomping grounds, where it was just a ‘half a mile down to Morgan Creek’, and is now ‘all spec house and plywood’. Taylor’s childhood experiences in this neighborhood heavily impacted many of the lyrics in some of Taylor’s most popular songs. In April, 2003, a bridge over Morgan Creek was dedicated to the musician, and renamed the James Taylor Bridge. Taylor’s childhood home was on Morgan Creek Road in Chapel Hill-Carrboro. His father served as the Dean of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill medical school from 1964 to 1971.Taylor grew up playing music with his four siblings, Alex, Kate, Livingston, and Hugh. Taylor’s family moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina when he was three years old. Interesting fact: James Taylor is the youngest Leicestershire batsman to have scored a century in One Day cricket and a double century in FC cricket.Singer-songwriter James Taylor was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1948 to Gertrude and Isaac Taylor. In the tri-series in Australia, he has been a consistent performer and looks set to bat at No.3 for England in the World Cup. He followed that up with another fifty in the very next game. The right-hander continued his fine form, scoring 90 in his first comeback match for England. Successful stints with Nottinghamshire and England Lions saw Taylor being recalled to the ODI side for the tour of Sri Lanka. Having spent three years at Leicestershire until 2011, Taylor moved to Nottinghamshire in 2012 and has been an integral part of the side. Taylor played just two games against Ireland, one each in 20. The story wasn't too different either, when it came to the ODIs. He played just one game after that and unfortunately, has not managed to break into the England Test side since then. However, a Test cap came his way against the visiting South Africans in 2012 and he made his debut at Leeds in August 2012.
