You've got yourself a career in music kid!!! Great vocals. Nice sad , mournful tone. Get yourself a buddy to fill in some 12 string background and cut a cd. Thousands of folkies will buy it. .
Beautiful voice and excellent one person arrangements on the guitar. you are definately talented enough to play at live venues. Good job and thanks for posting!
Excellent picking and singing wonder if you could play the backing for I will Love You Every Time. I want to record it for friend . Thank you Great voice .
Young man, you are very very good. As your voice (great as it is now) matures more, you will be a formidable entertainer. Your picking is amazingly like Paxton himself when he first produced these numbers. Keep it up.
I have been listening to "Last Thing On My Mind" for 40 some years, and I really, really, really appreciate someone, well, younger than that botghering to learn Tome Paxton songs. Have you ever heard Doc Watson's version? If you are taking requests, Tom's song, Cindy's Tears", presents a good possibility.
Also appreciate that you took trouble to actually "pick" your guitar, rather than just strum chords.
I listened to your recording of Rambling Boy a few months ago, and it stimulated my partner an myself to learn some Paxton tunes. And now they are a few of our favorite requests. Thanks, you do a fine job - especially your voice is pleasing.
Another winner! You do very well, indeed! Again, great to see Tom Paxton living on in younger folk like you!! Like a previous poster said, you might try Stan Rogers. If you don't know him, contact me and I can enlighten you! :)
I read the lyrics on my Amsterdam recording, but I've never done it on anything else. :{ Sometimes I just don't know where to look exactly when there's nothing to look at, so I just end up staring at the screen. But thank you for the nice words.
I've loved Paxton's music since-well, never mind-but I remember Pete Seegar introducing him as a newcomer. You do justice to his music. Keep on singing!
Thanks son . I am twice your age but it fills me with gladness that a young boy like you is singing and playing classic folk songs such as this . Most young people play and scream the mindless tuneless garbage of today , but when I see and hear young talents like yourself , I am filled with hope . Keep it up son , you play and sing beautifully . One for my favourites for sure . Andy
Really enjoyed your video. I have been a major fan of Tom's since the early sixties and have seen him perform here in the UK many times. It's great to see someone of your age paying tribute to one of the best writers of simple songs there has ever been.
Fantastic! I am so impressed with this video. Not only do you play and sing beautifully, but you clearly understand what you are singing about, and the results are wonderful. Thank you so much for posting this.
He Kirobaito that was great. I love tom's early songs and try to sing them,but not as good as you do. I can see you love them to by the way you sing and play them. Nice to see a young chap continuing the tradition.
Wow, you're really getting into Tom Paxton. I never really did, but I love "The Last Thing on My Mind" and sing it myself about as often as any other song. I knew it from covers by P,P & M and Judy Collins, but I finally bought a Paxton "best of" last year and so have been learning to appreciate a few more. I also liked his song, "How Come the Sun," and i did hear that album, years ago. Mary Hopkin covered that. Great job on the medley!
I would love to hear you singing Donovan's "To Sing for You". Can I make this a request? I love your singing and playing. Plus a few of the songs of the late, great, Nick Drake. I believe Nick Drake died in the 60's, but his recordings just don't date.
Great playing, great singing, very nice musician, and -- last but not least -- wonderful songs. Thank you so much.

Oh haha just look up instead of down then.
The song was called deep river blues by watson.
You should try some elliott smith- every song he played live is genious.
You might like Stan rogers too-mary ellen carter, or north west passage.
Just throwing ideas I dont know. You have talent.
good luck man
