Subject: RE: Tom Paxton has retired from touring (not yet)

I still see "Jimmy Newman" as an experiment that went wrong.
I wouldn't say that I only like pleasant sounding songs e.g. I love a lot of blues music and that can be very edgy but I would say that both Tom, and Phil's most loved songs have strong, plaintive melodies/ chords.
