'''''Through a Window''''' is the seventh album by Patrick Sky, recorded in 1985.

==Track listing== ===Side A=== *1." San Francisco Bay Blues" **I'll never forget Jesse Fuller playing his Foot-Della [sic] (a string-bass operated by the foot) at the Gaslight in New York. He played a 3-hour set and had to be dragged offstage. *2. "Ramblin' Boy" **Tom Paxton's best. *3. "Separation Blues" **My own contribution. I'm told it's a popular camp song. *4. " Dark as a Dungeon" **Although this song was written much earlier it was important to me when I was involved in raising money for the Hazard miners. There is no better mining song. *5. Mississippi John Hurt's "Candy Man" **His style of fingerpicking influenced me more than any other player. Candy Man — what a metaphor! *6. "Blowin' in the Wind" **When this song first hit the airwaves it shocked everyone. The anthem of the sixties.

===Side B=== *1. Reverend Gary Davis "Candy Man" **The Reverend's style of fingerpicking along with Merle Travis' set the standard. *2. ""Don't Think Twice" **The great Dylan song was heavily influenced by our mutual friend, Paul Clayton — collector and singer; his logging camp songs were gems. *3. "Ballad of Ira Hayes" **The plight of the Native Americans was never more poignantly expressed. *4. "Freight Train" **Is there anyone who plays a guitar that does not know Libba Cotten's Freight Train? *5. "Louise" **Paul Siebel still remains one of my favorite songwriters. *6. "Good Night Irene" **I'll never forget the first time I heard Ledbelly [sic] on the 12 string guitar. I ran to a pawn shop and bought an old plywood 'Harmony". Later I used it for a planter.
