Livingston

How much do you know about Jimmy? There's probably something you don't know.

Does anyone know if the Livingston in "Livingston's Gone to Texas" and "Livingston Saturday Night" is the same one? My dad and I were trying to figure it out.
Thanks!

I could be way off here, but I think this has already been covered in the trivia area. I could be totally wrong again, but I think the "Livingston" of Saturday night refers to a place and the other one makes reference to a person. Also, James Taylor's brother's name is Livingston. Maybe someone can help put the pieces of the puzzle together. Sometimes it seems that I know just enough to really toment myself! I'll be really curious to see if someone knows the definitive answer now. :grin:

I think that the "Livingston"in "Livingston Saturday Night" is a town in Montana.
I not sure about the other Livingston.Sounds like it's just a character he made up.

I know there's a Livingston, Alabama and it fits the description in the song.

Livingston Saturday Night was written about Livingston, Montana! At the time he wrote it, his sister Laurie was living there (nearby) with hubby Tom McGuane. Now they live just outside of Bozeman, MT. By the way, Laurie, thanks for the GREAT seats at last years' concert in Denver at Fiddlers Green!
