Bill D Obit: Tom Paley (1928-2017) (60* d) RE: Obit: Tom Paley (1928-2017) 25 Oct 17

A number of years ago our folk society in the Wash DC area was holding its monthly 'open sing'. Tom just happened to be in town and someone brought him over...(big surprise- were not expecting this)
After a few songs, it was my turn, (I play only autoharp), and I had already planned to do "The Storms Are On the Ocean" I got thru one verse and glanced up and there was Tom, directly across from me in the circle, his fiddle poised! Thankfully, I was quick enough to give him a nod, and he did a great fiddle break! (and did background on the rest)
   It will always be one of my favorite memories to have had Tom Paley play backup for me.. if only for one song. It made no difference to him who was playing.... it was the music and sharing it.
