A magnificent year for Taylor and what a great time we (the fans) had, eh? 2008 promises to be an even better year with a new concert DVD coming in the spring (Whomp At The Warfield), a new album to follow in the summer and more touring, both domestically and abroad! I know Taylor will kick some major creative ass this year and I for one can not wait!!!!!!
