williamanesbitt Yep! I got paid once but it cost me more than I earned to get home! So I gave up TRYING to make a living by performing and accepted that this would be a hobby for me and I'd better make a living doing something else! Now I am retired and all of a sudden I'm in demand - what's going on here, then? Have a GREAT life!
One of my all time favorites-have seen Tom a number of times in concert-the first time June, 1971 at the Guthrie Theatre in Minnaepolis. He opened with : Wish I Were A Troubadour...............
The version I recorded from tv goes for at least 43 minutes and I missed the beginning of it yet it seems to have much of the same talk but some of it IS DIFFERENT. Mine has many of the same intros to sentences as this version but yours goes different places. If this is an edited version it is REALLY well done. I can't imagine editing it from the same studio session as the one I have yet they look to be exactly the same. How did you do it? (I only watched the first minute or two of this version...)
Enjoyed this interview. Well done. Tom Paxton is my hero.
Saw him in Cork during the late seventies great writer, nice to hear him talk of 'Phil Ochs' another great writer and singer....
Brilliant interview of a truly folk genius.
What a wonderful artist.
"Tens of dollars" ... truer words were never spoken.

Great guy...
Very good interview.
I wonder how many times since he wrote it, he has sung that "Last Thing on my Mind"??
