Performing "Step By Step," Livingston was joined
by the 9-member gospel group "Overjoyed" at a concert at Berklee
College.
Liv recorded "Step By Step" in Nashville with
the New Day Jubilee Chorus, conducted by
Andrae
Crouch, for his new album "There You Are
Again."
He also performed "Step By Step" joining
Carly Simon and BeBe Winans (as well as Kate
Taylor, and Ben and Sally Taylor) at a show
at Harlem's
famed Apollo Theater. ("The surprise star of Saturday's show, however, was
Livingston Taylor. He brought the house down with a hellfire number called "Step
by Step..." -
FOX News)
During the inauguration speech of Berklee College's incoming
President, Roger Brown, Livingston was quoted about the passion of Berklee's
students: "Livingston
Taylor, one of our most colorful faculty members, loves to explain that when
a student goes to Harvard, where Liv is a resident advisor, it is the result
of an 18-year concerted effort on the part of the entire extended family
to get that young person admitted. When a student comes to Berklee, it is
often despite a concerted effort on the part of the entire extended family
to talk her out of it. As Liv says, students don't choose to come to Berklee,
they are compelled to come to Berklee. They have no choice".
In response to many requests for chords to Liv's songs, we have added printable TAB to a few selected songs in PDF format. They can be found on the Lyric page.
Livingston's instructional video, Livingston's Excellent Guitar Lesson is now available on DVD from Homespun Tapes. It is filled with innumerable tips on guitar technique, performing, gaining confidence, and using all your senses to become a complete musician. It is recommended for players with basic guitar skills, as well as those at all levels interested in learning the Taylor style.
Livingston joined folksinger Michael Johnathon for a recording of the nationally syndicated Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour. The show aired on more than 400 affiliate stations in 32 countries around the world to a weekly listening audience of more than 600,000 people. You can VIEW this show NOW, if you have a broadband connection, in the Woodsongs Archives (Show #316).
As we continue to add lyrics to Livingston's songs on the site,
we're especially pleased to add "Answer My Prayer", a song on which Liv recently collaborated with GRAMMY®-winning
songwriter Carole Bayer Sager.

When Livingston teaches his class at Berklee College of Music, Boston, he will often ask other working musicians to join him. The Berklee website has the story of one recent visit to his class. Liv says that "performing is all about the audience" and this article from Berklee gives a great look at what it's like in Livingston's class in " Stage Performance."
Livingston appears in a striking new ad for the school in a number of national publications. With a wonderful photo of Liv, it notes that "his students enjoy learning from a truly class act."
