SORRY FOLKS!!!

I meant to say that Sandy was the first person in the U.S.A. to record "Wild Mountain Thyme".

THE MANY SIDES OF SANDY PATON-------Elektra 148

I had Sandy sign it for me several years ago when I was recording for Folk Legacy. His inscription said, "Art---It seems that the sins of one's past eventually catch up. No escaping for the wicked !

Sandy Paton

Songs:

The cover is a beaut. I first heard Sandy in '59 at one of the Sunday afternoon hoots at the Gate Of Horn in Chicago. The house band was a highschool kid named Jim McGuinn on guitar(later to be Roger), Louie McDonald (a postal worker) and John Carbo on banjo.John later edited the BLUES BROTHERS film.
