re all this tom paxton praise stuff; couldn't agree more with all the sentiments expressed,, first saw tom in glasgow c69 & 70 ish again glasgow 78/9 ish. next ayr & irvine, ayrshire in 90's. "every time" t'was the best. but early this year, back in jan in glasgow as the finale to celtic connections festival he was on stage with archie fisher, dick gaughan, brian mcneil & eric bogle all together (at least in 2nd half) and t'was really, really good....... imagine all those folk all together, what a treat etc etc.......... we await the next visitation in this part of the world ie south/west/central scotland,(if you hadn't already worked that out) bye, gc ayr
