::: Excellent FM broadcast recording, check the samples.
::: This recording was a revelation for me. Great instrument mix & transformative music. If you never "got" Tom Paxton, or considered him some lightweight protest singer folkie, this might very possibly change your mind.
::: (*) Not at all sure about spelling for the club name. Perhaps someone can help after listening.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

Cool Sonics Series CSS-064 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Well, what's another 5 hours of my life transferring & declicking & cleaning up dropouts for a tape as right on as this one? I might have missed a few, but I got most of them. Paxton should have taken more time with this era of his career. Subtract a couple of unnecessarily humorous songs & this basically is better than any album I have heard by him, hands down, though I confess it's been many a year sonce "Paxton 6" has rounded my table. The arrangements do wonders - no studio overkill or solo treading & really transform some of the songs. Also the length of this show keeps Tom from feeling obliged to just play his hits. Should leave the most reluctant in a trance of confirmed interest & looking at their walls of music & wondering why the gaping hole in the Paxton section...

More recordings on the way now that I am able to make up for years of slow netspeed. Kudos to Zongo for life support & Lochner for mikes & much more. A bow to Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading & friendship. Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Kneesfudd
