Folk Musician Jerron Paxton Transports Us To the '20s

It's about the same. I still have big troubles with my peripheral vision, which stops me from driving. My central vision, I think it's better than what it was, but part of that is the technology has improved. I used to go around New York City with a little small telescope around my neck to see things like, you know, train signs and street signs and things like that now.

But now that, you know, now that I'm an iPhone user, which I never thought I would be, you know, I could zoom in on something 10 times and that's actually a lot more handy than this little telescope I was using. So things like that and Google Maps has made the Well, I think because of your eyesight, you had to reconsider what you wanted to do for work. Is that correct? Yeah, yeah.

I was going to drive trains and things like that. And, you know, I'd probably have done some of the other laboring jobs that most of the folks in my family have done. But when I say not being able to drive is just about the biggest disability I have, it's really true. You know, bumping into things and not being able to recognize people and is inconvenient and things like that.

But the one thing that kind of stopped me from doing exactly what I wanted in the world was not being able to drive. I couldn't be a plumber without a truck. I couldn't be a farmer without a truck. A lot of those jobs aren't available if you can't drive, especially in a place like Los Angeles.

So that's one of the reasons I moved to New York City was a place where not being able to drive wasn't really a disability. And it's one of the reasons I loved this city and stayed here for so long.

Oh, yeah, I think so. As much as people who like rural music tend to get stereotypes as loving songs about trains and mama, you can't help it, I don't think. But if I find a good train song, I'll sit and listen to it for a good while.
