Life sucks, especially when it ends. Kendall, I moved this up and changed the title. Hope that's OK. -JC |

04 Jun 14 - 12:35 PM (#3630303) Subject: RE: Obit: Midge Paxton (June 2014) From: GUEST,Anne Neilson I've seen Tom perform over many years (in Glasgow, Scotland) and bought his recordings over that same period. There are many of his political songs that move me; many of his humorous songs that brought a big smile -- as well as an appreciation of his skill with words, rhyme and rhythm; and always there were the love songs! As a Scot, my standard for love songs has to be Robert Burns, but Tom is a real contender…. Burns was working with known traditional tunes, to which he added poignant and heartfelt lyrics: the result was masterpieces like 'My Love is like a Red, Red Rose' and 'Ae Fond Kiss' etc. But Tom had to provide both the music and the lyrics, so it was always evident that Midge was a very wonderful person! So sorry to hear the news that this very special partnership has ended. |

I remember one year he was booked for Celtic Connections in Glasgow but could not come as Midge was unwell: we sang "Last Thing on my Mind" for them both. |
