In celebration of the new year, here are various pictures of Taylor cheersing.
His cheersing cheers my day.
#3 is so special. I know Taylor is celebrating the end of the AI “No more Pop Tarts” tour. But I’d like to pretend he’s toasting to his phenominal success in 2009. I’ll raise my glass of Diet coke and join you, Taylor!
the excitement is just oozing out of his pores in the last one 😀
That last pic looks like it could be his last one for the night….he can sleep it off at my place anytime….
Oh yes, welcome back Taysharp….nice to see you here again…..
Picture # 3 is particularly special for me, because that was my first Taylor concert experience. Workplay, Aug 2006. And what a night that was . . .
Taylor was on the verge of bringing “real music back to f*cking pop music.” I will not use this blog post to “opine and bloviate” about the course that Taylor’s career has taken since then. Let’s just say that it has taken many twists and turns, and leave it at that. 😀
Well, anyway . . . here we are at the start of a brand new year, with brand new hopes and dreams and challenges. My wish for you all is that 2009 will be a year filled with happiness, prosperity and good health, with a nice dollop of Taylor on top to sweeten it just a little more.
Welcome back, TH . . . I have so missed your daily blog posts. You have become a very necessary, “smile of the day” addition to my daily life, and I am so very thankful for all you do.
And as Taylor said that night at Workplay . . .
Cheers, everybody . . . CHEERS! 😀
WB TH 🙂 Now this is what I’m talking about Bloggerina ABSOLUTLEY AWESOME PICS WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START OFF ’09 # 3 is my fave 😉 THANKS FOR THE COOL SNAPS GIRL LOVE YA MWAH !!!!!!!!
Great to see you back, Tays, and great pics!
Here’s hoping 2009 really is the year Taylor has a lot to cheer about!
*cheers, Taylor
CHEEEEERRSS! Love pic #2 🙂
Cheers and Happy New Year SP!
Wish I could have been raising a glass with Taylor this New Year’s Eve.
Ah, well…………. thanks for the pictures TsH and Happy 2009 to you.
TH, Glad you got your groove back. Now all is right with the world.
That last pic, Asheville, surely summed up his feelings about that point. Sick, in the wee hours of a cold, cold night, not a whole lot to feel thankful for despite living his dream…but hey, let’s drink to that!
How wonderful to come back on here at the end of New Years Day and see pictures of Taylor again, and the #1 picture is that night at Angels in San Jose. I rememeber meeting him that day before the concert by the buses, seeing the concert that night, and talking my sister into staying out late for the concert. It was strange to me to see him on stage in a polo shirt with no jacket, no gel bangs, and I would believe that he had to fight with the AI people to be there that night, cause his mood was not great when he came in, but then he relaxed and did the nose harp, and the famous “thank you for lettin me be myself”. It was an awesome night for me personally.
I knew I would never see him with such a small crowd again. Here’s raising a toast to a fantastic year Taylor!
These pictures of Taylor certainly cheer my New Year! Can’t believe how much I missed my daily Tay fix! So good to have you back! I hope that Taylor and I, and all of you, will have much to cheer about in 2009!
I would love to “cheers” with Taylor….anytime, anywhere….. Happy New Year all!!
Cheers Taylor….
And to you TH…welcome back.
Amen. Cheers to Taylor and to everyone here! I can’t wait to see what 2009 holds… It’s been a fun ride and you never know what’s around the next turn! 🙂
Oh, yes, and I love the last pic! Just one huge, sad eye peering out from around his beer bottle. (Surely, there’s a song in there somewhere…)
Cheers, everybody, CHEEERRRSS
Cheers Everyone! That last one KILLS me…….
Also, the look of joy in his eyes in #3….right after winning AI…….love it…
Cheers Everybody and Welcome 2009!
Cheers and happy 2009 to everyone. I am ready to keep on cheering for Taylor this year and for many years to come!!!! Soul Patrol!!
Cheers!!! Have a great New Year, everyone!!!
Welcome back Tays! We’ve missed you!
I love cheersing Taylor. The first pic of him in San Jose was my first experience seeing him in a small bar setting. Yes, he did come on stage a little pissy at first, but he soon loosened up and gave us one hell of a raw, bluesy performance. A most unforgettable night!
#3 cracks me up. Looks like somebody needs to tuck him in bed and fast.
I’m as happy as a flea on a mutt to have you back.
I love all the pictures of Taylor. And # 5 is my favorite today.
I’ll raise my glass also, cheers Taylor!!!! 🙂
Here’s to you, Taylor!!
Much success and good luck in the New Year!!
A happy and healthy New Year to all. Cheers!
Cheers to Taylor and all his fans! 2009, here we come!
I’ve been gone for a week and came back home sick as a dog. But when I opened the blog and saw all this happy cheersing, my mood lightened. And so I’d like to propose a couple of toasts of my own.
Cheers especially to TaysHarp —
1. ….for all the hard work you put into this blog, and all the happiness I reap from it. I know you do it just because it gives you a good feeling to “pass it on”. The lack of drama, one-upmanship and competition found here is such a gift.
2. ….for your “themes”, which make this more than just a place to catch a few Taylor pics. For the newsworthy themes like “Taylor in the studio” to the fun themes of scarves and golf and cowbells and jeans and tambourines, to the more serious themes such as “Taylor Hicks, musician”. I love them all.
3. ….a personal cheers for two blog entries in the past year. The first being the Grey Eagle audio and the second being the pictures from Zydeco. Those are rarities that I would never have found on my own, and they’re the parts of Taylor that are so close to my heart and soul. I still listen to “Border Song” with a great big smile on my face.
And cheers to all the RHSavers, both lurkers and regular posters. May we all have a happy, safe, peaceful and fun New Year.
I especially love pic 3 today and in my head, I can still hear Taylor saying this on the WorkPlay CD ——
“Cheers evrah-body — cheeeeeers!!!!”
Happy New Yearsing!
Ditto to Linda T! she expressed my sentiments and more!
Happy healthy new year 09 to you, TH, and to all who are reading this, wherever you may be…
It’s fun to see that pic of Elliot Yamin’s big smile behind Taylor… and I love the last photo especially (oh, what i would have done to have been at THAT show!)
Hoping Taylor will do numerous ‘shadow tour’ small-venue gigs here in the San Francisco Bay Area in March and April, so I can send you many new photos to share on RHS this coming year 😉
Take care… + “Salud!”
A HAPPY, HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO THE SOUL PATROL!!!!!
Looks like Tay had one too many in the last pic (LOL)!
That last one, I believe I’ve had that look before.
Great to have you back TH!
Our Taylor sure knows how to throw ’em back and have a Good Time. He ALWAYS brings the party!
That smile in #3 is the Taylor I just LOVE. He’s SO handsome in #2, and #5 is SOOOO my favorite. His face is so expressive.
The many faces of Taylor.
I will definitely be “cheersing” him all year long along with the rest of you amazing fans. Happy New Year, Everybody! And again, as Taylor said, and many others here, “Cheers everybody, CHEERS!!!!!!!”
2009 will be a GREAT ride!!!
I love the last picture #5 of Taylor dark and mysterious. He looks as if a hangover was on the agenda for the morning.
I too missed you TaysH.
Thank you from a mom and her daughter (who has already thanked you, today) for all you do to spread so much cheer! Happy New Year!
Awesome pics, TH!!
Thanks for all that you do!
Thanks for the great pictures, love them all they make me smile.
