Thread Name: In praise of Tom Paxton
Subject: RE: In praise of Tom Paxton
Wesley- Hear Hear! I just ran across, (and bought), a Best of Tom Paxton CD, "I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound". What a delight- 26 of his best songs, many in live versions that I've never heard. His influence is everywhere in music. For a long time, I suffered the delusion that John Denver had written "Forest Lawn". A few years ago I found a copy of the song. Imagine my delight and relief to discover that Paxton had actually written the song! I've never had your good fortune to see the man live, but this thread is particularly timely to me as I just got this wonderful, (or should I say "Marvelous"), CD. Thanks, Jay
