Tom Paxton has been an integral part of the songwriting and folk music
community since the early 60’s Greenwich Village scene, and continues
to be a primary influence on today's "New Folk" performers. Author of
modern folk standards such as The Last Thing on My Mind, Ramblin’ Boy,
Goin’ to the Zoo, and The Marvelous Toy, Paxton is an internationally
recognized and loved cultural figure. This is the man who wrote and
lives the words, "Peace will come, and let it begin with me."

Considered by aficionados to be one of the best five-string banjo
players ever, Eric Weissberg is equally deft on guitar, pedal steel,
mandolin, dobro and fiddle. He had a number one single and album with
"Dueling Banjos," the soundtrack from "Deliverance," which earned him
two gold records and a Grammy.
