Thread Name: Urgent: info on Tom Paley
Subject: Urgent: info on Tom Paley
I'm writing liner notes for a forthcoming album of a trio that includes Tom Paley, and I'm having a devil of a time reaching him, so I need some basic info I bet catters know. I have enough information on his time with the New Lost City Ramblers but am looking to learn things like:

--how did he get into folk/old-time music in the first place?

--how did he hook up with Woody Guthrie?

--What has he been up to since the Ramblers, first in Sweden and then in England?

Answers to these questions and/or suggestions for other info sources are most welcome -- the printed sources I've found so far mostly focus on the Ramblers, not before or after.
