[San Francisco Bay Blues](/source/San_Francisco_Bay_Blues)" **I'll never forget [Jesse Fuller](/source/Jesse_Fuller) playing his [Foot-Della](/source/fotdella) [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](/source/Tom_Paxton)'s best. *3. "Separation Blues" **My own contribution. I'm told it's a popular camp song. *4. " [Dark as a Dungeon](/source/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](/source/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](/source/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](/source/Reverend_Gary_Davis) "Candy Man" **The Reverend's style of fingerpicking along with [Merle Travis](/source/Merle_Travis)' set the standard. *2. ""[Don't Think Twice](/source/Don't_Think_Twice%2C_It's_All_Right)" **The great [Dylan](/source/Bob_Dylan) song was heavily influenced by our mutual friend, [Paul Clayton](/source/Paul_Clayton_(folksinger)) — collector and singer; his [logging camp](/source/logging_camp) songs were gems. *3. "[Ballad of Ira Hayes](/source/The_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](/source/Elizabeth_Cotten)'s Freight Train? *5. "Louise" **[Paul Siebel](/source/Paul_Siebel) still remains one of my favorite songwriters. *6. "[Good Night Irene](/source/Good_Night_Irene)" **I'll never forget the first time I heard [Ledbelly](/source/Lead_Belly) [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. ==Personnel== *Patrick Sky - vocal, acoustic guitar *Michael Shorrock - bass *Laura Furlong - fiddle *Ted Bird - harmonica ;Technical *Produced, supervised, recorded and engineered by Patrick Sky — Skylark Productions. *Assistant Engineer: Ray Noren *Graphics: Cathy Sky *Photos: Ray Clayton ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Authority control}} Category:1985 albums Category:Patrick Sky albums --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Through a Window](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through_a_Window) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through_a_Window?action=history)).
