I don't usually do birthday threads, but, Sandy Paton is an old, dear friend and mentor whom I admire so much I am going to break my aversion to happy birthday threads.
Have a funny one my friend.

I'm with you, Kendall! I don't normally contribute to these threads either, but Sandy isn't normal. I mean, yes, he's normal I suppose, but he is an extraordinary person and rules get broken for a friend like Sandy. Is it appropriate to wish a Happy Wife of the Birthday Boy day to Caroline?

Love you both..

Jerry and Ruth

All good things for the future, Sandy. Your contribution to the dissemination, appreciation and understanding of folk traditions, particularly those of your native America, is immeasurable. I dips me Ozzie lid to you.

First time I've had a connection in almost a week and I may not have it long!!! So before it goes out entirely........Much love to you both and a Happy Birthday to you!!!! Just keep on having them. I've noticed that is what seems to be the key to things......just being there. Outside of that I think you just need to be in places and with people where there is a there there!   

So there ya' go................

did you feel your ears burning this evening as i said nice things about you at our Chico concert with Debra Cowan and Michael Delalla.
as an audience member purchased one of her hattie mae c.d's from your Folk Legacy label. and at the memorial for jimmy borsdorf earlier in the same day, someone sang a song that i heard on your label too.Jime ringer and the band of jessie james.

Sandy, a heartfelt and authentically traditional-style Ballad Happy Birthday from Amba and me.

He saddled up his ae dark steed,
The gray wasnae sae earthy, O
Tae ride fu tilt to Sharon, CT
Tae Sandy Paton's bairthday, O.

(CT has to be pronounced as a single syllable here. It's part of the Folk Process. I got it by putting Connecticut in my Folk Processor and it came out nicely diced 'n sliced.)
