So glad he kept singing and writing. He seriously doesn't look like he's in his 80's. God Bless him!!!

Great to see his interview 2018. Saw him at The Isle of Wight and in London, 1970. Seen him in concert about 3 times since..last about 10 years ago...A joy to listen to as a writer and singer with fun and a more serious content on life. So many wonderful songs. He was so gracious with relating to us, his audience, and admirers. He always came across as a lovely grandfather figure, sharing his stories with his children and grandchildren. Every time you felt truly blessed with meeting this lovely man again . Just a part of family..His gift to us..Thank you Tom .

Ah, those was the years, did they just roll on by. Thanx Tom

I saw Tom twice live in the UK - brilliant both times. He has a gift that stretches across his writing, playing and singing.

Great interview. A real person and as nice as they come. Always time for a song and a story to go with it.

I just came across a photo I took of Tom in the basement of the Main Point in the 1960s where he was waiting to go on. My friends & I were Main Point regular volunteer hangers'on & often were the free opening act when they couldn't afford one. He was sitting there reading a Superman comic. For a price (LOL), I'll burn it.

It's so great that some of the old guard are still around. What did you learn in school today, Tom? I hope you learned about Solidarity Forever.

[@Northyorkspaul]

Great...and a JD mention as well cheers TOM.

I've seen Tom Paxton at the Troubadour folk club in Earl's Court, London, way back in the mid 70's

[@MirimawrPowys]

I saw him at the Albert Hall and he needed a prompt for Georgie on the Freeway: he couldn't understand a Scot who called out the next line! Lovely man.
