B. E. Taylor
Here in the USA we were blessed to have a talent of B. E. Taylor who passed away a few years ago at the young age of 65. I bring him up to see if anyone has heard of him? If not please google him. His was big for his Christmas Music Library. Also he toured for Christmas and brought his shows to Pittsburgh ( his home town ) and did a wonderful job of putting you in the Christmas Spirit. He took several old Christmas Music and made them his own and put a great spin on them as well. He wrote one song , Feel the Love of Christmas and you must give this a listen. Also? Like Mona and Lisa? He was a huge Beatles Fan and on the lead guitar on Feel the love at Christmas it has the George Harrison feel to it. In the summer months he would tour and do Beatle Songs along with some of his original music. So just throwing this out there to see if anyone has heard of him, very excited to see if anyone has.

Bill – Never heard of him. I found this on youtube. Is this him?

If so it’s good, he sounds like someone else can’t put my finger on it. Maybe a little Paul Rogers
Good song. Sorry he passed if him.

Hi Bill. I haven’t heard of BE Taylor before. I listened to Feel the Love of Christmas and the song Joe posted. They are good, nice Rock and Roll sounds. It’s too bad he passed away so soon.

Yes that is him! Feel The Love of Christmas is a gem of a song with the melody and guitar work from Rick Witkowski B E Taylor long time friend and song writer. His shows always put you in the spirit of Christmas and a lot of fun too.

I agree Jeffrey, here in Pittsbugh PA he played at Heinz Hall since 1997 and we went every year to hear him and it kicked off the holiday for us. So sad he is gone. His son B C carried the show until last year and did a great job. But with B E Not there it was so sad but give B C a ton of credit to carry the show
