KenM	In praise of Tom Paxton (79* d)	RE: In praise of Tom Paxton	30 Jun 08
Paxton is an absolute delight on record/cd but especially in concert where that wonderful sense of humor (much like Tom Rush's) is on display. The last time I saw him he did a wonderful paraody of Last Thing on My Mind. Here's how it goes: Well I met a young girl at a folk club, Like you do, Like you do, So I bought her a drink and we chatted, Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? And then after the show, she invited me home And she said we were two of a kind Then she played me every record that Tom Paxton ever made And you know that was the last thing on my mind One of my favorite Paxton albums is now out of print, "Tom Paxton 6" which has a wonderful collection of songs on it including "Jimmy Neuman", "Cindy's Crying" and a raucous song called "Saturday Night" which is in the same genre as "Wasn't That A Party?" but, I think, much better. "Not Tonight, Marie" from a 70s album is a real hoot.
