NOTHING wrong with the sound of the guitar, or the guitar playing, or the fiddling.
I'd like a little more wood tone on the fiddle (just my personal preference).
Voice is very good, but the rhythm of the vocal meanders at times. I know it seems like a simple song, but I do think it's a bit harder to perform than most because of the difference in the rhythms of the melody and the accompaniment. I actually think Tom P.'s phrasing was a little awkward on this song at times.
It is a tribute to Tom that people love his song so much that evreyone has covered it. The best cover? You guys are pretty good, I like Mary Hopkin on her "Recollections" Album it's sweet and true to Tom's vision.

I agree with SplashPix about the tempo-in my opinion Glen Campbell does the best version of this song. Anyone know if its on YouTube?

One thing remains constantly true - no one can sing this song better that Tom Paxton. Why do so many people sing it so fast?

I'll agree that no one can sing this song better than Tom Paxton.
I'll keep your comment in mind regarding the tempo.
