I am a fan of Tom Paxton. He has written many clever songs. One of my favorites is, "I'm changing my name to Chrysler," which Arlo sang at a recorded concert. My current favorite is, "The last thing on my mind," written many years ago. I like every cover version of it, and it seems timeless. I think he's underrated as an artist. I'm always glad to hear him mentioned anywhere. Very enjoyable listening.
