Thread Name: Origin: Sully's Pail (Dick Gibbons)
Subject: RE: Sully's Pail (Paxton?)
Dick Gibbons is a friend of mine, and yes, he still lives in Seattle. He wrote Sully's Pail based on a real life experience. Years ago, I had the pleasure of introducing Dick and Tom Paxton, when Tom was in town for a concert. After that meeting, Tom sang Sully's Pail, and asked Dick to stand up and take a bow. He also paid him $200 royalties. Hows that for honesty! Dick is a very populiar person at our hoots, he mostly writes poetry now. Get in touch with thedeckman if you want his address.
