Thread Name: In praise of Tom Paxton
Subject: RE: In praise of Tom Paxton
Tom has appeared several times recently at the kate Wolf memorial fest.
and he has had several "albums" recently, too. One with Anne Hills, and
otheres listed here: http://www.tompaxton.com/discography.html
He also wrote a wonderful tribute to the firefighters on 9-11. He writes topical songs with info about current events, he calls them short shelf life songs. here is his web site: www.tompaxton.com

I sing several of his songs: Last Thing on my Mind, Wonder Where I'm Bound, Ramblin' Boy, and one he does with Anne Hills "Follow That Road" and I would like to learn My Pony Knows The Way, Early Snow, and LInks in the Chain. A friend once asked me to help him learn Outward Bound for a memorial to his brother, whose ashes the family planned to sprinkle on teh sea from a boat as it was outward bound...
