Pinetop Slim Handsome Sandy Paton: Many Sides of Sandy Paton LP (23) Handsome Sandy Paton 18 May 02

"The Many Faces of Sandy Paton" was one of the album covers in an exhibit of photos by George Pickow on Friday night at the Peeptoad Coffeehouse in Foster, R.I., in conjunction with a concert -- an excellent one, as usual -- by Jean Ritchie, Mr. Pickow's partner in matrimony for 51 years. Mudcatter Paton was -- still is -- a ruggedly good-looking fellow. I suspect he was a coffeehouse heart throb before Caroline tamed him. The photos were quite a treat. Some personal faves: A teenage Mary Travers singing in Washington Square; Carl Sandburg playing with children while being nuzzled by a goat; an all-star cast on the Newport Folk Festival stage; Little Richard on an album cover proclaiming him "the king of gospel"; dulcimer maker Jethro Amburgey; several from the Aran Isles; several from Eastern Kentucky; Jean Ritchie recording Seamus Ennis on a "portable" recording machine (must have weighed a ton).
    Note from Joe Offer: Sandy's 1959 Elektra album was titled The Many Sides of Sandy Paton.
