I have followed this thread, in sorrow for our loss and in joy for our having had Sandy and Folk-Legacy, and have thought like many others of what a FOLK LEGACY Sandy created. In person, both Sandy and Caroline were both fascinating and gracious, comfortable to be with despite their wonderful knowledge, talents, and accomplishments. Several posts have made me think of this song, which I am going to request tonight:

Only Remembered

Up and away like the dew of the morning,
Soaring from earth to its heavenly home,
Thus would I leave from this world and its toiling:
Only remembered for what I have done.

cho: Only remembered, Only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done;
Only remembered, Only remembered,
Only remembered for what we have done.

Shall we be missed when others succeed us,
Reaping the fields we in spring time have sown?
Nay, for the sower shall pass from his labor,
Only remembered for what he has done.

Only the truth that in life we have spoken,
Only the seeds that on Earth we have sown,
These shall pass on ward while we are forgotten,
Only remembered for what we have done.

From Randolph's Folksongs of the Ozarks

The seeds, and the truths, from Sandy Paton have been mighty indeed.
