    Rich, I was so happy to see that you have highlighted this superb performance of my second favorite recording of The Seekers (taking second place behind The Carnival is Over.) In March of 2020, in the very last stage performance prior to the closing of venues due to CoVid in Oklahoma City, Tom Paxton delighted a capacity audience with many of his old and some of his newer songs. After the concert, I was able to meet and talk to him for a while. He told me then that The Seekers recording of this song is his VERY favorite cover! He went on to say that The Fureys recorded his favorite version of Everytime. Those are two of my personal favorites of Tom Paxtons!

Depending on your age, you may be surprised at how many of his songs you know, as many have been covered by other individuals and groups. He is a sensitive and insightful writer and is still making appearances around the US. I saw him again this summer (2022) at the Woody Guthrie Festival in Okema, Oklahoma. He performed “The Last Thing…” again there. So I was a happy camper! Brilliant, and a very nice guy as well.

This song is one of his, so if you like it, you will probably like others written by him. Wikipedia has a great deal of interesting information about him including a long list of others who have recorded his songs. If you started listening to music in the 60s (especially folk music), you may recognize some of the titles he wrote. It's worth a few minutes to learn about Paxton. He received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009 and is still going strong today.
