Thread Name: Origin: Sully's Pail (Dick Gibbons)
Subject: Sully's Pail (Paxton?)
Was checking a verse of "Sully's Pail" & noticed it was credited to Tom Paxton in the DigiTrad. On the notes to "Ain't That News" (Elektra EKS-7298 [1965?] Paxton sez it was written by one Dick Gibbons. Did Gibbons write/publish/record anything else??
Also, in the second verse, believe that should be "Coeur d'Alene" [Idaho] and "Ely" [Nevada]. Fort McLean is/was in New Mexico, I believe- perhaps one of the western 'Catters could verify this.
Best, Greg
The Digital Tradition has now corrected the attribution information on "Sully's Pail. I don't know when the corrections were made - probably quite some time ago.
