What a show! Tom Paxton is a giant of the 60s folk scene having written such songs as The Last Thing on My Mind, Ramblin' Boy, Bottle of Wine, and What Did You Learn in School Today? Anne Hills has a great voice and who wrote some excellent songs that they did tonight. They also did songs by Malvina Reynolds ("God Bless the Grass" - about grass overcoming the cement of the sidewalk as a metaphor for truth spreading in spite of suppression), Richard Farina ("Birmingham Sunday" about the 1963 bombing of the Birmingham Baptist Church), Kate Wolf (A Link in The Chain) and Len Chandler, who was in the audience (Green, Green Rocky Road). This was a real throwback to the early days of 60s folk. Paxton wrote so many great folk standards, and the playing and singing by these three talents was excellent. If you have a chance to see this show, don't miss it. It was one of the best shows I've seen !
