A few days after returning from my solar eclipse road trip, I had the opportunity to photograph a couple of brilliant earthly stars - folksingers Tom Paxton and Daniel Boling - in rehearsal and in concert at the South Broadway Cultural Center in Albuquerque's South Valley neighborhood.
You may not have heard of Daniel Boling -- a solo performer as well as a current member of The Limeliters trio -- but if you're "of a certain age" you've probably heard of Tom Paxton . . . or, at the very least, you've heard some of his songs -- The Marvelous Toy, Bottle of Wine, Ramblin' Boy, The Last Thing on My Mind, and many more -- sung by Tom himself in thousands of performances around the world . . . and covered by Pete Seeger; John Denver; Peter, Paul, and Mary; Dolly Parton; and many more.
Tom and Daniel were on tour in Albuquerque and Santa Fe before heading into the studio to record a new album. Through a mutual friend, they asked me to shoot some candids during sound check as well as backstage and during the concert. Here are some of the images.

Enjoy!
How exciting that must have been to see and hear such a folk music legend. The empty stage with the guitars lined up tells a great story. I bet they will like the photos you took of them. Barry
