Honor of your company -review.......2003-12-23

For all Tom paxton fans most of his song lyrics are found here.
I also found out some unknown info ( Trivia) on the man himself.
Did you know that Paul Simon warmed up for him on one occasion.
Harry Chapin also. The book is not really an autobiography and is mainly taken up with Song Lyrics and where the songs came from what inspired them etc. Tom tells very little about his travels and rarely mentions the various artists that were around the coffee houses of the 60's. This is not for someone who is looking for any indepth reading. It is short of detail. Worth having for the ardent fan but disappointing that it wasn't a biography.
