"Tom Paxton has provided the world a treasure-trove of entertaining and thought provoking songs over the span his career. An engaging performer quick to please his audience, my children and I fondly recall an encounter with Tom after a Christmas concert he gave in NYC some years ago. My pre-teenaged son at the time enjoyed 'Fred', one of Tom's songs recounting a relationship between a dog and a flea. The tone of the concert did not call for a performance of 'Fred'. Enjoyable as the concert was, my young son was slightly disappointed. Tom graciously took my son aside and there in the hallway, between greeting fans and signing autographs, sang a verse or two with him, giving him the thrill of his young life. In this new offering, the title song alone is worth the cost of the CD. I first heard Tom perform the song, 'Your Shoes, My Shoes', during a webcast concert from the Kennedy Center in Washington and, was delighted to come across this release. The balance of the collection will disappoint no one. Tom Paxton continues to stimulate our consciousness. Buy this CD. Play it and grow!"
