Folk icon Tom Paxton is retiring from touring, which is too bad. The campaign trail will miss him.
Here he aims a zinger at Donald Trump, and then dedicates a tune to all the Republican presidential candidates.

Paxton performed this number, from his new album, Redemption Road, at The Minstrel Acoustic Concert Series 40th anniversary show last weekend.
The sold-out concert filled the Presbyterian Church in Chatham, home of the Sanctuary music series.
Stay tuned for more videos from the weekend, which included a Friday celebration by Folk Project members at The Minstrel’s usual digs, the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship in Morris Township.
And give a listen to our interview with Paxton, who reflects on a career that started with Bob Dylan and Dave Van Ronk and has continued with his songs being covered by everyone from Placido Domingo to Tiny Tim.
