I heard this heartbreaking news while here in England. As I read these messages, many from old friends, Roy, Kendall, Art, George, Kathy, Lisa, I feel I should be back home to be able to talk to folks who knew and loved Sandy. Sandy and Caroline have done so much for all of us who love the old songs, I guess the best way we can thank them is to keep singing those songs. Around 1968 Sandy and Caroline came into a folk club in San Francisco I used to sing at, it was called the Singers Circle, run by Alan McCloud, they sang us some good old songs, they were beautiful. That was the first time I met them and I have had the pleasure of knowing them ever since. Spare special thoughts for David, in a few short weeks he has lost his son and his father, it is so much to bear.
Much love to Caroline and all the Paton family.
David
