Subject: RE: Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, Pat Sky
From the Old side of the pond, and following in Don's footsteps yet again. I've been a Paxton fan since I was knee high to an 016, Ochs came a little later (he never came to the UK, as far as I know) and I saw Pat Sky at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 1969(?) and at a couple of other gigs. The trouble was, every time I saw Sky, he did the same set !!!! Didn't stop me learning "Only Love will Endure" and "Jimmy Clay" and trying to wrap myself round his version of "Rattlesnake Mountain" - kinda tough for a Limey.

However, if they ever do a Folk songwriters version of Mount Rushmore, they've all three got to be there.

ps I've been hunting for years for copies (vinyl or CD) of Ochs' "Pleasures of the Harbor" album and Paxton's "Outward Bound" - any offers??
